Today I read that someone managed to eject a cd at startup with a bluetooth
mouse and an iMac 1.25 (built in BT). link here:

If it is not simply a false statement, then I am wondering if the built in
BT models (at least the latest versions) are hardware recognised at start-up
as the Firewire and Ethernet are and therefore with some limitations would
also work?

Would be interesting to hear from someone with a new Mac and built in BT as
well as the mouse or keyboard...
