Netdoc,
It seems you are very quick to tell everyone that they should use computers, which is fine. I use a computer too. I'm not a luddite, and I understand their uses. Why does it seem like you think divers should not be taught to use tables? It cannot hurt for divers to know them. Is this part of dumbing diving down further, or does this change your bottom line somehow at all? Does this sell more computers? I am just curious what part your own personal interests play in this. Tons of malleable divers (fortunately or otherwise) listen to what you say because you run this board. So, why are you telling divers that they shouldn't learn how to use dives tables?
