I have a keyboard and mouse that came with a USB "transmitter/receiver" (for lack of the right word). My PC has bluetooth built in. Is there a way to get my keyboard and mouse to talk directly to the bluetooth on my computer, so I don't have to use up a USB port for the transmitter?

The keyboard/mouse combo is the:
Microsoft Natural Wireless Ergonomic Keyboard 7000
and the
Microsoft Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 7000

If this is the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Desktop 7000 wireless keyboard+mouse set, apparently it does not support Bluetooth — the “2.4-GHz Wireless Technology” is a proprietary interface not compatible with anything else (except maybe other similar Microsoft wireless hardware). This is a very common situation — finding a wireless keyboard or mouse which actually support Bluetooth instead of some proprietary protocol is hard; the list of currently available Microsoft keyboards and mice with Bluetooth is very small.
