I have a Dell TrueMobile 300 Bluetooth adapter in my laptop and it works fine with both Logitech MX900 and the Microsoft Bluetooth Intellimouse Explorer or whatever it is called. I took my laptop into my local Dixons to try them out. Didn't actually buy one yet though :P -- Regards, Morgan R. Pugh http://mrp.freeshell.org
