Wow.....what a DB
My point (more so on the other thread) isn't that it does not make sense to teach computers. I personally believe that we are shortcutting the student's education by removing the Tables from the curriculum. Yes some PDC's are inexpensive but not everybody has the money to get one right away and MOST rental regs come with a console....rental computers are in somewhat limited supply as well since most renters do not rent them. So because we failed to teach them the "old school method of safe diving" because we wanted to save a nickel, they either cannot dive or dive anyways and hope it ends well. I am just glad that I trained early enough to have learned to dive tables. I believe I am a better educated and perhaps even safer diver for having that knowledge.
