Organization:
Screw your computer!!! On O2 at 20 feet you should worry more
about the physiology issue that keeping your little toy happy.

Sell your computer to someone that you dont like, and
buy a decent bottom timer and lessons in deco-theory.
It will freak you out for couple of dives,
but it will make sense in a very short time.
