I am neutral on the help feature...however I do not use it.
Kudos on the Hard Protective Case...I saw one at DEMA and liked it.

The question is: How important or useful are those help descriptions? Would the Cobalt be as useable without them? Are they useful in come contexts, like Gas Settings, but not in others? When we discuss adding features, screen real estate always is an issue, and the help text takes quite a bit. Is it worth it?

We have included, in all our Cobalt firmware versions, help text at the bottom of the screen for most Settings functions- text telling users what the particular button or menu item does, within the possibilities of a few of lines of text.

We just finished 12 dives in Cayman yesterday. My Cobalt computer was down to about 60% charge so I put it on the wall charger before packing up to go home. Now the computer will not start at all. It seemed to work ok during the week. I charged my buddy's computer at the same time and it seems to be ok. Is there a secret incantation besides pushing the EAST button to get it started again?
Thanks,
Dan
I wonder if Ron (or anyone) has an answer for this one. ...
