geeze Tom (obie one) i expected more from you than this.. are you
connected in any way with the odessey?  of course there have been changes
in the electronics and other technology along the way.. hell this is the
90's.  I sorta got the same comments, or questions from rich privately, 
(good one's really, but come on you guys, do you think we are really all
that stupid).  I can't believe you even brought this up... either one
of you...  and one more point, for everyone out there.. this ccr stuff is
not magic, it't not even that complicated, so let's stop trying to make
everyone that doesn't have a unit think that we are smarter or better than
they are.. anyone out there could (and will) dive one easily.

i don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, but i do not, and will not ever,
understand why anyone would build a semiclosed unit..  if anyone buys
one of these units they will be trying to trade it or sell it so they can
get a fully closed unit..  it's happening already...

it's happening already all over the place.  

period.
