General consensus on this list is that you are better off with a laptop 
with with dive planner software and bottom timers than with a computer. 
This makes sense as they have (as far as I know) not developed a computer 
which can handle more than 2 mixes of gas or deal with trimix. The 
exception is the filthy rich rebreather divers who have computers coming 
out of their golden butts.

A while back there was a bloody war on the net of Cochran vs. The World 
which offended and alienated a lot of folks. It was a textbook example of 
how not to promote your product. As a result Cochran takes a lot of 
abuse, more than Bridge II's or Orcas which had their share of production 
problems.
