Well, the last note got almost one reply.  How about this?  I am looking 
to replace our Palm M100, because it is failing more often than not these 
days.  Would a M130 be a viable replacement?  Can I use the included 
cabling, or the cable that came with our M100 to connect to the GEEZ cube?  
Thanks for any replies.

Well, it looks like our M100 is becomming more of a liability than a tool.  
Yesterday, with the battery at 1/3 used up, I got one run and then got the 
'low bat' warning.  The battery level was then at 1/2. Of course, while 
attempting to change the batteries (one at a time), the machine RESET 
itself, each time for both batteries.  

I am entertaining ideas of replacing this thing with something newer.  
Again, (and probably the reason our M100 is such a problem) the unit will 
be used ONLY for collecting GEEZ data and nothing else, so we are looking 
for something toward the inexpensive side.  For other data recording we 
still use our VERY trusty Newton 2000. 

We plug the unit into a Win98 laptop for download.  We do have a USB 
interface on the laptop, but wonder what you need to do to connect the 
newer units up to the GEEZ serial interface.

Thanks for any recommendations.
