I also use the Motive Products garden sprayer bleeder.  They suggest you 
pour the brake fluid into the bleeder tank, but I just keep refilling the 
master cylinder.  One less thing to clean at the end.

You should also bleed the clutch slave cylinder.  If you've never done it 
before, here's what you need:

- Proper size wrench to open the valve
- Proper size tubing to fit on the valve
- 30 minutes to find the valve
- an hour to figure out some way to get the hose on it and open it at the 
same time
- 30 minutes to bandage your scratched arms and hands

Not one of my favorite jobs, but if it saves having to replace the clutch 
cylinders sometime down the road, worth it.
