Evidently you can surf the net using your T3 in one room with the computer in another via bluetooth.
Now that is not that big a deal but this will also allow you to shut down your computer from a different room.
I read where a person surf's and reads their email in the bedroom and then without leaving the bedroom turn her computer of that is located downstairs.
now I wonder just how much one can do in reference to connecting to their computer???
Write MS Word doc, Excel, and then save directly on the computer and shut it down.
Would be nice...
Thanks

All you can do is transfer files back and forth, and to shutdown the server (PC). If you want to control the desktop, I would suggest you take a look at PalmVNC http://www.palmgear.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=software.showsoftware&sid=303B1A7A-5CF0-4132-B95EEB1F66ED79AD&prodid=46656

It works extremely well, and with the updated server the screen scaling is quite usefull. I use it at home as well as at the office.
