Jeff, Before you think to little of me go back and reread all my posts. I never said to use this for all configurations just the simpler ones (that just keeps getting assumed by everybody). I know it works well, I have been using it for the last year now (on all types of dives) but then again with our dives we don't need a lot of the extra crap on us. It would be nice if everybody would quit assuming I don't inderstand the big picture, I do. At 08:51 PM 12/17/97 -0500, Jeff Bentley wrote: >Jeremy, >You are wrong chief...
