    Web site won't let me use PayPal. Get an error I haven't see until now.
    Then after a 3rd try, it seemed to work but my PayPal log shows no activity
    with that merchant. Very strange. I'm just glad my PayPal account uses
    the Securekey to keep changing my password.

    No problem!

    It is one of the few good things I like about PayPal.

    So please help me understand this adapter. Does it mean that I can plug it into a machine with a USB slot and no bluetooth module and I can then use a bluetooth mouse? Does this little adapter serve as a Bluetooth module that you can get internally from the manufacturer?

    you pop it in the USB and your computer will be bluetooth enabled if you dont already have a bluetooth enabled PC... they also make bluetooth dongles that plug into a 3.5mm headphone jack.

    Just a note, dealextreme ships from HK if I recall correctly, so it can take a while to be delivered.
