| All of the Sony Clie drivers and installation CDs and various other large files are available for free download from SonyClie.org's FTP site. Access to the site is free but you must email one of the admins for the login information. Email Micah at micahdg@xcomufo.com We request that you email us for access in order for us to keep moderate control on the bandwidth. We don't intend to use your email address for anything other than replying with the login information. Please remember to use a good email address, make sure your inbox is not full, and that we are allowed in through your spam filter. Many of our emails get bounced back as bad addresses or rejected as spam. (please see EDIT 5) To Buy an Actual Disc: We have done our best at SonyClie.org to offer simple instructions for freely downloading and installing the drivers, but we realize not everyone understands what an ISO or FTP is, or doesn't want to bother with them. If you are not very computer savvy or would simply like to have an actual disc, you may purchase a burned copy of a disc from us and have it mailed to you. The price is $5 for USA delivery and $4 + shipping (price depends on destination country) for international orders. We deliver to any [unembargoed] country. Payment can be made either via PayPal (credit card, debit card, bank transfer) or mail (cash only). For PayPal, please click on the PayPal Donate link above and follow the instructions, being sure to include your Clie model and mailing address. For payment by mail, please email Micah at micahdg@xcomufo.com for address information. EDIT 1: If you are going to be installing these drivers on Windows Vista, check these http://www.sonyclie.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=771. EDIT 2: The files are in an iso format. If you've never used an iso before, please refer to our thread on http://www.sonyclie.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=66. EDIT 3: For those of you who don't know how to use FTP, http://www.sonyclie.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=446. EDIT 4.5: WE ARE NOT PROVIDING [FULL VERSIONS OF] GAMES AND SUCH ON OUR FTP. THIS SERVICE ONLY PROVIDES ORIGINAL INSTALL CDS THAT CAME WITH THE VARIOUS MODELS OF CLIE [AND SELECTED COMPILATIONS OF GAMES AND APPS TAKEN STRAIGHT FROM THE CDS]. IF YOU ARE COMING HERE LOOKING FOR [FULL VERSIONS OF] GAMES OR APPLICATIONS, YOU ARE IN THE WRONG PLACE. We don't have time to bother with this sort of thing. EDIT 5: If your email service requires us to jump through hoops to avoid your service's spam filter, you will not be receiving an email back from us. Seriously, if your service is dumb enough to not automatically accept a reply from an email address you just sent an email to, then you need to get a new service. With the number of FTP access requests we get per day, we don't have time to 'click here and here and here to prove we are not a spammer'. EDIT 6: (for tfurrows |

| Yes, we are still alive and yes, we still respond to access requests for the SonyClie.org FTP server. Simply follow the instructions in the post above this one. Stop asking me in the email requests if I am still alive |
