I'm glad you treat PO2 conservatively.  Your experiences of less narcosis 
with nitrox are very interesting to me.  You're the first person who has 
told me you've actually felt less narcosis at a given depth than air.  
Are you sure it's not just psychosematic (i.e., you're expecting less 
narcosis, so you think you feel less narcosis)?  If not, then tell me 
more!  Even if it's just a very faint and subtle effect, then I'd like to 
know more. The problem is, so many other variables can affect narcosis 
that it's tricky to tease them all apart.

Aloha,
Rich

P.S. What's the appended WINMAIL.DAT stuff?  Is that a uuencoded file, or 
just an unintentional inclusion?
