[NBLUG/talk] Bluetooth?

[Robert Hayes]

There is a very cool dongle I've lusted over (quietly, and chaste from afar) 
that plugs into the back of your printer. It's counterpart is a USB dongle 
similar in size and shape to a thumb sized solid state disk.

They were selling a year or so ago for about $50. I could never justify the 
money for that. 

God only knows why. I've certainly spent more on less practical things.
