[BTM] Two Macs, One Mobile?

Methinks you are right. I get the same results--after a switch, the dongle
is shows up as my last pairing. Don't recall any problems pairing to either
machine, but I have to re-set up the desktop when I re-insert the dongle,
else I get a 'connection error' or something similar. Sorry for the
incoherent english, but I had a seriously late night at work, and only had 3
hours sleep. Still, I'd back up data on the desktop first to avoid trouble.
