contempt, follow-up, or dismissal. Caveat emptor, but the costs of
screening postings seems to be much higher than the benefits of censoring

First it will be dumb, predatory postings (not to suggest that the two in

I have just received a message that I thought you would be interested in:

According to the Wall Street Journal this morning, Mattel is selling a
product called "Teen Talk Barbie" which says 4 phrases.  One of the phrases
is "Math class is hard".  I can't imagine a product better designed to
program math avoidance into little girls.  We've all heard many times how
math avoidance limites women's educational opportunities and career choices.
Mattel justifies this product by saying something like they aren't saying the
other classes are easy, and that they have a doll available that says "I want
to be a doctor".  I'm sure we all wish Barbie good luch on achieving her
goal of becoming a doctor without any math skills.  If you have views on this
subject that you would like to share with the Mattel company, you can calll
1-800-421-2887 or write to Mattel at 330 Continental Blvd., El Secundo, CA
90245.

As Barbie no doubt says -- have a nice day.

The pros:  Multilevel dives calculated automatically and at a frequency no
	   diver could match.

	:  There is no chance of making a mistake reading tables.

	:  Decompression is automatically calculated, and you are told how
	   close you are to decomp, so you can get some idea of how non
	   optional a given safety stop should be.

	:  Records your dive, for later  transcription into your log book.

The cons:  If it fails mid dive, you must fall back to tables.  This means
	   being thrust onto a square profile.  This will significantly
	   increase your likelyhood of now being in a decompression dive.
	   If this is not the first dive of the day, the situation is slightly
	   more complicated, with all your previous dives being forced into
	   square profiles, and you needing even more decomp time.

	:  A computer failure necessitates doing all your table calculations 
	   under water.

	:  If you rely on your computer for a while, you may forget how to
	   do table calculations.  Then, if it fails and you are forced to
	   fall back to tables.....

Me:  I dive with a computer and love it.  I also dread the day it fails and I 
     have to fall back to tables.

But what do you put IN the tanks?  And how long will it take you to return

Why are we down there anyway?  (Purpose of dive?)  Who is arranging this trip?

I've seen the Tekna Computek, played with it, haven't dove it.  In
case you didn't know, Ocean Edge is the new name for Tekna, Tekna's
diving division was purchased by another company.

The Computek I was a VERY conservative computer, very bulky, and in my
eyes very hard to read under dim light conditions: the LCD was deeply
recessed in narrow wells and could be tough to read at night or under
less than ideal conditions.

Subject:      Re: diving watches

Hi Carmine,

I paid 199 dutch guilders for my Casio, which was approximately
US$100 at that time. I think you can get it cheaper in the US,
since all prices for Casio watches seem to be a bit higher here
in Holland.

BTW, the watch can store 10 entries, so basically you log dive1,
surface interval1, dive2, surface interval2, etc.

There is a facility to check all log entries (forward, backward,
best), even while logging! You can set a target time, for example
planned bottom time.
The watch will give an audible signal (quite loud under water !)
15 seconds before the target time is reached. In addition, you
can set a target distance. This is not very useful in diving, but
for example in athletics/racing/... you can set the distance in
(kilo)meters, after you've set the time, the watch calculates the
speed in km/hour.

The rubber/hard plastic casing which all CASIO G-shock models have,
might not win prices for aestetics, but will provide very good
protection. (When diving you'll always hit something, Murphy's law
on scuba diving)

                I have used this same watch for a few years now.  I've
        taken it down to 150' with no problems.  I suspect it will
        survive deeper than I will!
