Gasmix is a DOS program, you don't need much of a computer to run it on. You could get a old 486 for practically nothing (we just threw a couple out in the trash) and park it next to your cascade. The program does a nice job of figuring out what mix you need for your dive profile. Consider it another tool in your toolbag. I think it's worth $20, and Bjorn does a good job supporting it.
