<DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">I just bought a G5 desktop from Apple. As it was a refurb I didn't have the option of adding Bluetooth. Could anyone recommend the best way of doing so now? Apparently it can be added by an Authorised Apple Servicer but I don't have one close by and don't know the cost. Will a USB dongle work just as well? Any recommendations for one offering Bluetooth 2?</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Don't know about BT2 but if you're adding a BT USB dongle make sure you get a compatible one. Most of them will work fine even without drivers (they're in OSX already) BUT you may have limited functionality. </DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=Apple-style-span>For example AFAIK you can only pair a BT headset with your Mac if you have a <B>D-Link</B> BT Adaptor, it's the only one Apple support for headset-pairing. I discovered this after getting a Belkin BT Adaptor - works great except for headsets, they're no go.</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>Note that your Mac may offer to update the firmware on a D-Link Adaptor and this will improve its performance on Mac but renders it unusable on Windoze, if you care?</DIV>
