Ranjit-

I agree the download software is pretty lame, but it's better than 
nothing at all. What annoys me is that you have to download the whole 10 
dive set every time and then weed out the dives you want. BTW don't 
understand about the moving dives between log books. I have a dive log 
folder, when I download the whole set I just drag the ones I want to keep 
into the log folder and then delete the download folder.

What would be nice is if you could export the raw data to do with what 
you want, then it would not matter how lame the graphs and other aspects 
are, I could just dump them into a spreadsheet and have some fun. Another 
annoying thing is that DiveRite says that you can do the software on 
MacOS via virtualpc but they don't provide a cable or even a pin-out to 
fashion your own.
