John,
Your quote is out of context; this was in regard to the fact that the 
Bridge II won't do gas switches, let alone trimix deco computations, but 
I like the logbook features and use it as a depth guage and bottom timer 
etc.  Thus, if because of gas switches, I can be out of the water before 
the Bridge II says it's OK, the simple solution to avoid "lock out" -- 
again assuming I'm diving tables (either trimix or Nitrox/Air with EAN80 
deco) --  is to hang the computer on the line at the point when your 
tables allow for ascent, but the Bridge II doesn't.  The only function of 
the Bridge II is the divelog/upload at that point.
I also don't some dope, drink six packs, or take crap from people who 
misread posts.
