Maybe you can give me some constructive feed back.  I am just entering the
realm of technical diving and just a few months ago I did purchase a
Cochran Nemesis IIa.  I am still trying to learn how to use it correctly
and so far only trust it as a spg, psg, and timer (other than spg, my
Citizen watch does all this).

My problem with this unit is the field programer.  It worked the first time
I used it right out of the box and then would not work any longer.  Cochran
was contacted and I was informed to take sand paper to this brand new piece
of equipment and sand down the contact points on the probe as the plating
was apparently interfering with contact.  I did this and it worked, I did
not like the idea of sanding down new equipment but as long as it
worked.............  Anyway, that was one time, once again it is not
working, I tried to sand it down again but it still will not make contact.
My wife is running the programer back to the dive shop I purchased the
computer from to ask the owner to send it back to Cochran with instructions
on where to stick it (the programer unit that is).

Can you give me any idea's or tricks to make the new programer (when it
comes in) work correctly on a regular basis?  I know I have thrown a lot of
good money away on bad gear but right now I am getting the feeling that
this has been the biggest waste ever.  So please, give me some good news
about my purchase.

Thanks,
Eric
