heres a question, and im sorry for any repetition or anything... now my brother gave me a bluetooth adapter for my g4 PB b/c it doesnt have it internally, and was wondering if i brought the pb to the apple store, if they would be able to install an internal bluetooth adapter?



i ask because i never really liked having things sticking out of the back of it in the case of forgetting..... thanks

    The apple store won't do it for you, but there are a few options.



    1. get a bluetooth PC card: This is pretty easy.



    2. De-package the dongle, and bury it behind the DVD drive internally. This has been done before. If you get a dongle that has USB pass-through, you can even retain your USB port.



    Option 2 is a lot of work, but *it has been done before.* A google search will probably yield a bit more information on that. Personally, I'd just live with the dongle. I have a bunch of software USB keys, and I've just gotten used to putting my laptop in its case ports-up.
