Bluetooth & 1394 Questions
Hi, I have a new 8600 Inspiron, and I have installed inside it something to the fact of Bluetooth. Is there a link that I can go to that explains all about Bluetooth, because I would like to know how to use it and just when to use it. I have a built in Dell wireless network card a/b/g/, and it works fine in my home network.
The other question is just what is the 1394 network connection? People tell me it is a fire wire, and thats about all I get for an explanation. I would like to know more, such as if it is a fire wire, just what does it do?
Is there a connection between Bluetooth and the 1394 ?
I really would like to learn what I have and how to use it. The built in Dell manual leaves me with a lot of questions. It does not really tell me a lot.
Thanks for your help

This was an easy (just logic) find: http://www.bluetooth.com/
As for 1394 that is, as you've been told, a "firewire" connection. Firewire is an Apple computer term, as they pioneered the interface. It is a serial data connection, much like USB, but faster than the earlier USB 1.1. Look here for more on 1394.
