Does it use my wireless card then? And both items has to have bluetooth on it right??
Then if none of my other computers or cell phone has bluetooth, the bluetooth on my computer is worthless right?? It is just takin up memory??
We use to have these PDA's we could send meetings and contacts to each other without making a connection. This was a long time ago and I don't think they called it bluetooth at the time.

It does not use your wireless card. Both items must have bluetooth. If you have nothing else with bluetooth, then it is worthless to you but it isn't using much memory.
Older/most PDAs use IR for wireless connection and data transfer between themselves (PDA-PDA) and a computer.
If your cellphone has bluetooth, most do, you can use it to sync phonebooks, schedules, etc with your computer. You can also use it as a 'wireless' dialup modem for your computer.
And finally, there are some bluetooth headsets that you can use with your bluetooth-enabled computer. Then you can listen to your mp3s while beebopping around your room without running out of wire. There is about a 30ft limit to bluetooths range though.
