Scott,

I have none thank goodness. My poor buddy (we will call him Bill)
was suckered into buying one of the early versions of this product
and it spent spent more days in the shop than it did diving. 
Bill was quite unhappy with the cable between the HP port
and the brick failing all the time. I bought a Bridge II to
try a different product and it has worked as advertised. I can't
use it anymore because once it's bent it will not work for
24hours. Bill was lucky and suckered the Dive shop owner
into an even trade of his newly replaced Nemesis for a
Bridge II.

Did I wear the Cochran? No
Was I diving with the guy who owned it? Yes
Would I buy a Cochran product in the near future? Very doubtful.
Would I buy any computer for diving in the near future? No because they are
  all but worthless for caving and deep fun.. 

Hope you no longer hanging on the edge of your seat Scott,
Jeff
