Don't need/want a wireless mouse/keyboard since I use a Powerbook. Don't have a Bluetooth PDA.

Now what?

Even with a PB, an external wireless is nice. And if you have a bt-enabled cell phone, there's plenty you can do.
If not, sell it and pocket the money (though it won't be much).

You are Bluetoothless

Option A: Give it to the poor (ones with wireless hardware)
Option A (version 2.1a): Sell it to the rich
Option A (version 2.1b): Give it to the rich
Option A (version 2.2a): Destroy it using a meat beating hammer
Option A (version 3.0.1): Sell it to the middle class
