Hello Terry:

Blue tooth is a SHORT range wireless solution  that allows  PC's, handhelds, 
paripherals and other devices to link together within about 30 feet.  Wireless 
networks (802.11b and 802.11g)  are designed to work over about 300 feet line 
of sight.  While there is a way to link to your PC or Laptop via Blue Tooth  
and get onto the internet, most people are doing this through wireless access. 
You can use Blue tooth to link a PC or handheld to a blue tooth equipped 
printer or modem.  I, for example, use Blue tooth to link my MPower to my cell 
phone while travelling.  For example, I'm sitting on the bus  and am checking 
my email  with Blue Tooth without the phone ever leaving its case on my belt.

Some users on this list use a Blue Tooth QWERTY keyboard to link to their BT 
style BrailleNotes or VoiceNotes to make typing easier though I'm not exactly 
sure why.  Otheres on this list can probably speek to that question. I hope I 
haven't muddied the waters further for you, but thought I'd put in my two cents 
as usual.
