Ok... who wants to take a stab at explaining this?

"Download your fills from the Internet with the EtherFill™ 5000 Cylinder Fill System. Get yours today exclusively from Dive Rite Express with quality gas provided by Fill Express.

To use the EtherFill 5000, connect the Ethernet cable on the EtherFill 5000 to any RJ45 Ethernet port on your computer or network hub. Then connect the fill whip on the EtherFill 5000 to your cylinder. Visit the Fill Express Web site, and use your prepaid Nitrox or Trimix fill card where you can buy gas by the cubic foot. Attest that you are certified to use the gas you are about to download. Then begin downloading your gas fills from the Internet directly into your cylinder, using the EtherFill 5000. Watch the gauge, and when your cylinder is full, just close the handwheel on the fill whip, or abort the download. "

Say what???

Now that would truly be cool.It has got to be some sort of mean hoax.:confused:
 
I ponied up for a Dive Rite Express air card that says I have another 12 fills left.

hey - rip deal...


:wacko:
 
I ordered one last week. It arrived on Thursday and after around a 15 minute install, I had it up and working, it's plug & play so you don't even have to set any interrupts. I filled 6 tanks Thursday night and another 8 on Friday including mix in 2 sets of doubles and an O2 deco bottle. Best investment I've made in years.
 
Guess that brings new meaning to the phase " Hot Fill"
 
No, it really works.:wacko:

When you get the download software, it comes with a special attachment that converts your hard drive into a radial compressor. You can defrag an 80GB drive and fill your doubles at the same time.
 
The boys at Dive-Rite must have a great sense of humour.
I remember reading a friend's operating manual to his B'air dive computer.
It started off by stating to read the manual thoroughly before using the computer.
There also a Quick Start guide.
It suggested taking a ball-pean hammer to your knuckles to get used to the pain in your joints from the bends, becasue you couldn't be bothered to read the manual on proper use of the computer.

These guys have quite the sense of humour indeed.
