I've just returned from Scapa were the average water temp was 6/7C, going 
as low as 4C. Did 11 dives over 5 days with no sign of the batteries 
needing changing. They were fresh at the beginning of the trip. (Spares 
were carried just incase..past experience of dive computers :-))

The only problems I've had are with Windows 95 not putting in the path to 
DOS so that when you run Analyst and it tries to set the com port, it 
can't find the DOS command, chugs down through all the speed settings 
before saying it can't communicate.

Before I got blasted, I'm trying to get upgraded to NT!!
