I saw a Microsoft Bluetooth Laser Desktop 600 which has a bluetooth keyboard and bluetooth mouse. What I would like to know is if the iMac bluetooth will recognize this keyboard and mouse? thanks.

it should.. bluetooth is bluetooth. if it has some fancy optional keys, they may not be recognized, but for a basic keyboard it will work. look and see if they have OSX drivers available for it.

Thanks, but I found out a little while ago that the keyboard I was going to get is not Bluetooth. The fellow selling it on EBay gave the wrong information. I am now looking at the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Desktop 7000 which is bluetooth.
