Dear Mr.CH
I never said computer are able to think. I simply stated you haven't to
worry about deco problems etc. because only the computers can do properly
the needed calculations.
You and other persons instead having nothing intelligent to say are
repeating here those old refrains about the wonderful virtues of that
computer between ears.
What are you thinking about when diving? "E=mc**2"? Or "cogito ergo sum"?
When I dive I am interested on the marvels of underwater world and I am
relaying on the computer for the calculations who none is able to carry out
better than it. Think man think and rely on computers.
