I wonder, if I bought a bluetooth USB thingy and put that on my puter,

Bluetooth is very slow for file transfers. I find WiFi the best
compromise of speed and convenience.


Well, I tried it but it didn't work.  I suspect I'd need a app for it to
access it.  It could get there since it said it exists but couldn't
connect.  I'll try to find a app later on.  I'm putting out some raid,
literally.  Bug killing time.  ;-)


Just for the sake of completeness, if you use a full-fledged desktop environment you don't need any app, just the proper USE flags. At least on Gnome it's done that way, file transfers are managed by the usual file manager.
But even if I set it up successfully I seldom use BT, USB is a lot more stable 
and faster.
