Apple on Tuesday released a 1.5 MB “Bluetooth Firmware Update for Mac OS X 10.4.3.” Apple’s page reports that the update (1.2) “improves Bluetooth performance and reliability issues.” At the time of this posting, the update is not available via Software Update.

The Bluetooth Firmware Updater supports D-Link USB Adapters and Apple internal Bluetooth modules for: iMac G4, 12″ and 15″ Powerbook, iMac G5, and Mac Mini.

UPDATE: Odd, the updater told me that an update is not needed for my computer.  Checking in Applications\Utilities\Bluetooth Firmware Updater, I found that I already had v1.2.0 (1.2.0f6).

New Year’s

For this New Year’s…we had visitors!  Allison from AMP’s ZZzzz flew in last Thursday and was here until Tuesday morning.  For those of you who don’t know, in a few months, she will be Dr. Allison.  She is about to finish her D.C. in August from Parker College of Chiropractic.   Then, on Saturday, Andrew from Schwartz speaks up drove in from Washington, DC, where he’s about to finish up his duties as an Innkeeper at Samaritan Inns.  It seems like it’s been forever since we’d all got together…we reminisced about our Freshman college days and had a great time.  I’m so glad that they both got a chance to come to Raleigh…unfortunately, the time went fast, and now we’re all back to our regular routines…
