I just started using MacAlly's new BTMicro wireless bluetooth optical mouse,
and it doesn't awaken my 12" Al PB.  In fact, this mouse shuts off when the
computer sleeps, shuts down, or is otherwise inactive.  I think because of
this feature, in my Bluetooth preferences the "Allow Bluetooth devices to
wake this computer" is greyed out as an option.  So I couldn't awaken the PB
with the mouse even if I wanted to.
