Hardware - February 2007

I own a VGN-C270CE running Vista Home Premium and I'm trying to enable Bluetooth. When I view the Wireless Device Switch window as per the notebook's instructions, I don't see an option to select Enable Bluetooth. Anyone know how to enable Bluetooth on a C series VAIO notebook? Thanks.

Can anyone think of the most unusual or weirdest computer? Anything appropiate is good. It doesn't have to be something like a PC, it can be any type of computer, such as a PDA, or GPS system, etc.
