[BTM] Two Macs, One Mobile?

[Martim Weinstein]

I'm sure I didn't re-pair every time, actually I was doing it with 3 
macs and all I had to do was remove and place the BT USB dongle on 
another computer. The names appeared correctly as well... strange?  I 
thought it was normal... The name is defined in the sharing preferences 
in OS X. I now have a Powerbook with internal BT so I keep the dongle 
on just one computer (I don't use the 3rd computer any more).

in such a way that you actually look forward to the trip.
