	Just bought a MessagePad 130 on eBay, and I want to hook it up to my iBook (via some USB to serial adapter). There's talk of needing a serial adapter as well as the serial cable (DIN to D-type). Is the adapter only for the 2000/2100 or do I also need one for 130, and what does it do? Also, what software should I run on the Mac? Hey, does anybody really think any PDA out there today had improved on what Apple did nearly 10 years ago? Forget size, speed, colour screens, gimmicks... I mean functionality, ease of use, etc. Mmmmm!? cheers Simon
