[Techtalk] Linux andCliéSJ30 Success

[Erinn]

Hi .Beth (are you back in hiding again?),

I recently received an m130 as a gift and used your previous guide to
get it synced. Strangely enough, it was a replacement for my Sony Clié
PEG-SJ30, whose "monitor" I had broken accidentally (no warranty). I
found it funny you also had both, although in a reverse order and I must
say your instructions were _invaluable_! Thanks for sharing your
experiences and giving instructions!
