	Easy, Joan; as far as I can tell you're right, but take it easy
on the shop owners. Bill is right about ont thing; I do not spend any
money in any shop on Nitrox based kit, nor do I advise any divers I make
contact with to do so, because of all the associated and inexplicable
shit that goes with it. 

	Training costs being a biggie - if this information is so
obvious, why is it not public domain? No, we need nitrox cards to get
fills, so Bill doesn't get my money. Equipment servicing is *not* high
profit margin, Bill and his capitalist kin (:-) ) would rather be
flogging high mark up items to active divers. 
	
	You cannot get Nx in Edinburgh, because the one shop that
offered it sunka  lot of money into it and discovered that the market
wouldn't carry the associated costs. They went up against the wall.

	Shop owners don't like this crap. They like hose clips for 5UKP
and Spare Airs and Straps and junk like that.

	It seems that the rest of the world is suffering from the US
ligation-phobia. 

	Jason
