I think I posed my question incorrectly. I know Logitech makes mice and there are other cordless things floating around. This new mouse and keyboard from Apple, though, is to be used with Bluetooth. I don't know enough about technology and actually wanted to know in which way Bluetooth is different from the airport. I am told it does not reach far, but still, wouldn't something which works with Bluetooth also work with the airport? You see, I still don't know how actually my airport works, why I can float my Tbook all over the house and yard to catch the signal. Are they different waves? Perhaps different frequencies that work with Bluetooth? I am lacking the basic knowledge in the way waves are transported through space. Buying a TV or radio doesn't bring up these questions, but now with all these different gadgets on the market, one would like to make intelligent choices before, not after the fact.
