Hi Katie, In addition, most bluetooth usb dongles look just like a little flash drive or thumb drive. It's just a little thing which inserts in to a usb port and extends out about 1.5 inches or so. They generally have a light or two on them.
Hope that helps!

They can come as USB adaptors, parallel adaptors, and, I believe, some come in CF cards. Hope that helps.
