Can I make PC Bluetooth enabled?

Can anyone tell me whether it is possible to convert my PC to be Bluetooth enabled? and if so, how easy/expensive is it?

I have bought DS1 one of these wireless virtual keyboard thingys for Christmas and have just read on the box that it works by Bluetooth :doh:

I really cannot afford to buy a new PC at the moment, so any help would be most appriciated.

    Thank you sooo much Chuckles, I could kiss you :kisses3:

    I thought that it would be such a complicated thing to do, if it was even possible, but I think even I could manage to do this:T

    dont forget the other uses for it........if your mobile phone has Bluetooth, there are loads of sites where you can download free ringtones to your pc and then simply Bluetooth them to your phone :-)

    Never understood why people wanted to pay £1.50 for these premium rate ringtones when you can get them for zilch if you know how :T
