Isn't the price/performance curve amazing. The price is now down to $80 per clusterfuck. And to think, we were paying much more than that a few years ago. ;-) Don -----Original Message----- From: Jim Cobb [mailto:cobber@ma*.ci*.co*] Sent: Thursday, June 01, 2000 10:27 AM To: Art.Paltz@R2*.CO*; techdiver@aquanaut.com Subject: Re: 2 high pressure ports ? No, that unit is yet another travesty of engineering being foisted on the gullible rec.scuba diver. Black probably owns several of them. The kit I am talking about enables you to add 5 to 10 additional failure points and clusterfucks to your rig and comes in a nice, neat box for only $800 or so.
