  Joel,

 Though I have no further use for a computor, a few years ago I had two
Nemisis II's.  The first lasted 8 dives and the second laster 4.  I then
spoke with Billy and he said out of the 11 he had 3 of them took a shit
quickly.  Not to say that they haven't rectified the problems as of late.

   John Walker
