Re: [PilotMgr] USB cradles and Sun serial connectors

[Lynne Ragazzini <lynne@xxxxxxx>]

Hello, Todd, and welcome to my nightmare!  I, too, just bought a Clie'
and the connector you need doesn't exist.  However, I am confident that
one day soon, Sun is going to put SunRays on our desks and solve the
problem for us :-)   Don't worry, I'm not holding my breath!

Another solution at my disposal is to use my Sun-issued Toshiba,
which has a USB port, load Pilot Manager onto it, and sync that
way.  This is a sub-optimal solution because I really don't use
my Toshiba every day and don't want it taking up desk space.

However, I love my Clie' and cannot part with it.  I have the purple
one, which matches all my other purple Sun stuff.  That is a very
important feature :-)
