Just curious but does the Bluetooth connection on my Powerbook use much power? I've been told that Airport is a pretty significant hit on my battery life, so I should turn it off when no network is present. Same thing for Bluetooth? Or is there any other reason not to keep it on when no device is connected?

No, I do usually turn it off. But if I leave it on...is it much of a drain on the battery?
