Perhaps you should have phrased your post in a more appropriate way.

Not entirely appropriate here, but near enough.

In theory you can use it to connect to anything that's Bluetooth enabled. ie another pc, phones, fridges (yes there is a Bluetooth enabled fridge god knows what it does lol), i use mine to connect to my phone which i can use as a remote control for my pc as I use it as my Hi-Fi too, basically it'll connect almost anything to your pc or vice-versa.

Hi Kazzi - I bought a USB bluetooth dongle to connect my phone to my PC for back up and management purposes - and to be fair I think it's pants but that could have been down to the dongle I bought. It took up a load of system resources on my PC for a start so I didn't bother reinstalling it when I rebuilt my PC. I might invest in a better brand one rather than the cheapo one I've got to see if it's any better on it's memory management, but I don't hold out much hope.
