Subject: Gas Switch and Rolloff
Mike,
Regarding the gas switch detection on the NITROX II:
You're going to bend all the guys on the list that have such a terrible problem
with
rolloffs on there manifolds(assuming the don't have leaky regs and manifolds and
the system stays pressurized) and don't have any better sense than depending
solely on a dive computer.

Regarding the old piece of crap Nemesis Nitrox that I bought years ago:
I've never made more than 5 dives on the same unit without it failing.  I don't
use it
for anything serious but I do make some fun dives with it occasionally.  A few
months ago I got the latest unit returned from the factory.  A friend of mine
made
three dives with it in N. Florida.  Three dives with three problems.  When are
you
guys going to send me a unit that I can atleast get rid of without problems. 
I've
got the log files to prove it.  Would anyone believe an elevation of 3000-5000
feet
at Little River or at Telford?  There were other problems with the unit as well.

Jody

P.S.  I dont think that the claim" The Hogarthian method is unacceptable,
because we don't breath the short hose to avoid NEMESIS gas switch errors."
will qualify for George's recent challenge.
P.S.S. Mike, send me some mail so we can get the issue with the old unit
straightened out.  I'm through dealing with the normal channels.
P.S.^3  I'm not really a diver, I just play one on the internet.
P.S^4 Mike, I'm serious about the personal email.
P.S^5 Notice I said "we don't breathe the short hose" just incase anyone was
wondering.
