No can do. :-( I can't do ANYTHING with the Mini the way it is now.
The cursor arrow is STUCK in the upper left side of the screen while
the little gear in the dialog box screaming for a Bluetooth mouse
spins and keeps telling me no mice have been found...

Dunno. I never touched it that I can recall. Like I said, I've never
had this happen, never seen it before.
<What happens if you safe boot and turn Bluetooth off, then reboot
normally?>
How do you shut off Bluetooth from a safe boot? Safe boot = boot
while holding the shift key, right?
<Or is there some sort of Bluetooth preference/history file from
some othertime when someone (maybe someone other than you?) had such
a device around your computer when Bluetooth was turned on?>
1. No idea. I bought my Mini from someone on the LEM Swap list, but
I did my own install of the OS using the 10.4.2 system CD which was
included.
And why haven't you updated to 10.4.11?
Well, I'll be happy to try a safe mode boot (confirm please, shift-
power button?) and turn off Bluetooth that way if you can tell me how.
And what's the delay? Safe boot holding the Shift key. Go to System
Preferences>Network>Bluetooth and turn it off (or even delete it using
the "-" button IF you have no bluetooth devices you're using now).
