After posting a short commentary on how my "Cochran/Beuchat"
computer was rife with problems a couple of weeks ago, I had an
email conversation with Mike Cochran, and he pointed out that
Cochran Consulting stopped manufacturing computers for
Beuchat last year.  He rightly pointed out that it's unfair
that his firm should take the flame for Beuchat's problems.

So if you have problems with your Beuchat, trash Beuchat, not Cochran.

I have a Beuchat, so I hereby stand publicly corrected:
 
My _Beuchat_ implementation of the Cochran designed, Cochran Patent Pending, 
and formerly Cochran-manufactured Maestro Pro Enriched Air computer has 
major quality problems.

I'm sure its just a coincidence, since there is absolutely
no affiliation, that these problems seem to be very similar to the
problems several people on this and other forums have noticed in their 
Cochran computers of similar make and model.

In all fairness, Mike Cochran was actually very generous in that he 
offered to take a look at my Beuchat, even though they didn't build it,
and he's apparently got a new Nitrox Air Integrated computer.  I suspect
that after all the grilling these guys took over their last offering,
we won't hear bitching about the new one.  Secondly, I'm sure that to a 
certain extent, their reputation has been compromised by the vocal 
minority, which is probably a very small percentage of thier user base.  

On the other hand, it is kindof curious that there aren't any other 
computer manufacturers with such a vocal minority.
