[BTM] Two Macs, One Mobile?

[info at blue-gene.com]

There is a possible reason for this issue.  rember do not switch dongle
among computers after pairing.  The reason:

1. All Bluetooth dongle has a BDA number built in, when pairing to a mobile
device (does not matter a cell phone, PDA.. or whatsoever), the two device
"rember" the BDA number.

2. When you switch the same donge to a new machine the opposite device
got confused with the same BDA unmber but two different machines thus
terminate the previous "pair".

I personally never tryout this on my machines, but I think it is probaly the
cause.

Got to try that then. I mess around with the system on my macs so much, with
upgrades and stuff, that may be the reason I have to re-pair.
