I have had a T60 for about 3 years and had no problem with Bluetooth.
It should show up as a USB device.  But...  Couple of questions...

1) Are you sure YOU have the Bluetooth module (it's an option on the
T60)?

2) Did you turn the little switch on on the front of the T60?  It may be
a stupid question, I know, but, if that switch is off, you won't see the
Bluetooth hardware at all.  If it's on and you have the Bluetooth
hardware, the little "B" light on the panel in the hinge should light
up.
