The computer dies? Use the backup computer.
Or use tables. Or don't dive. Even with an
occasional computer going casters up, you still
end up with far more bottom time with the computer
than with tables, which is why people use
computers.
I think, pre-computers, there were a lot of folks
who really couldn't do the tables then.
And I can still do tables. Still do occasionally
to remind myself how much more bottom time the
computer gives me.
This GPS gizmo, on the other hand, seems to be
more trouble than it's worth.
