Can anybody tell my why they'd built me bleedin' TiBook so that you
can't upgrade the friggin' CPU?!

Same here.

A super-friendly guy, BTW, who has kindly and speedily answered any
question I've had. Oh, and he also allowed be to put his driver up with
the Newton Connection CD project at the Library.

That's what he insists on.

That's why I bought this card, didn't want the much cheaper D-Link BT
stick in the back (no pun intended).

Ebay Europe has these for EUR 40,-- to 100,--. I was lucky when I got
mine, IIRC about EUR 35,-- incl postage.

the

Pico Card on the Newt side (Ebay Europe about EUR 20,--). I just love
the green antenna and the blinky light!
AFAIK, we'd discussed this about 10-12 months ago, when I got this
setup working, so a peek in the archive might be well worth the time.
Oh, and some Bluetooth-newbie used his once-inna-lifetime chance to
give this a writeup on the Wiki, too
http://tools.unna.org/wikiwikinewt/index.php/MacOSXBluetooth .
Unfortunately, the Newton-side Blunt setup was not covered in much
detail. Maybe the next Bluetooth n00b will add that...
