That is a faulty and dangerous assumption.

Hi Art,

Thanks for the comment.

In my experience, I cannot seem to recall an example where a wrist computer 
got me out of the water quicker than a plan I had cut from the deco programs 
I have used.  Do you have any examples that we might discuss?  But I have to 
admit that I don't often use "Abyss" because that also seems to give me 
awfully long deco. times.

In fact, it is not unusual for my wrist computers to require nearly twice the 
deco. of the tables I have cut.  I imagine the lawyers might have had 
something to do with this.

As I have indicated in another post, if you'd like to continue this 
discussion, could you please contact me off the list as I really believe we 
have already taken enough bandwidth with this subject.  Please don't 
misunderstand me in that I'm happy to continue talking, but I really think we 
ought to do it in private.

Thanks a lot for your cooperation and thanks also for your well worthwhile 
comments.  It's very hard for me to have an interesting discussion when there 
is not a knowledgeable person on the other end.  I really appreciate your 
time.

Take care and safe diving,       Scott
