I know this may be obvious - the computer loads you with zippo nitrogen!

This particular computer is at best worthless, grab some digital timers
and cut some proper tables - the deco curve needs to start deep.

(I have seen this thing bomb out into error when others are indicating
little deco penalty - i.e less than 10 minutes!)
