In reading a lot of information on computers, and researching what one to get next summer, I have seen a lot of you guys talking about certain computers being
"fairly liberal" or "slightly conservative". The manufacturers obviously dont describe them that way and stop short after letting you know that they have a "deep stop" programmed in that is recommended.
That being said - which computers tend to be more conservative than others. At this early stage of my diving, I would rather have one that is conservative. I am not as concerned about how easy to learn it is. I sell hardware and software that is extremely complex and I can read and understand technically written directions extremely well.
I also dont want one that is overly basic (non-nitrox above 21% capable) etc.
What are some of the basic differences- number of buttons, difficulty in changing modes, ability to change battery,makeup of screen material, downloadability, etc, that I should be looking for and what are their relatve importance?
