I didn't see the post where I could vote on computers. I don't think I would
buy one for $1900 unless I was a professional diver and they were proven to
work well. Are there two brands on the market now, Dive-Rite and Abyss? I
believe they monitor three gases and you can switch gas on the fly, sounds
impressive. 

What are the options for a beginner tech diver?

1) Tables
2) Tabletop software programs
3) Wrist Computers
4) No tables and no computer
5) Math equations??
