The "tank unit" was clipped to one of my lp inflator hoses as suggested
in the manual.  The "tank unit" was the device to which my friend was
referring in his (ahem) comment.

I seriously doubt it.


I'd have to say that I was seriously disappointed in the Cochran unit.
Particularly after having held out on it's behalf for a long time, and 
having defended it to a number of folks criticising it heavily.  It just
got to the point where too many things were happening with them, and I could
no longer think of constructive things to say.  Not to mention the bad things
happening to me.  So, then, great idea, but not nearly reliable enough to 
take on a serious dive.  I'd be interested to see what those "big names"
really use the computer for.  I'd wager dollars to donuts that they have 
some UWATEC product or a Bridge tucked away in a pocket somewhere.
Heaven knows, I'm glad I did.

Incidentally, these opinions and statements reflect personal experiences
on my part, and those told me by friends.  I think the Nemesis concept
is a creative one, and very timely.
