I think it was the latter, as it was broken before I created the second account. FYI. Thanks!

It looks like you also noticed that my username was in my screenshot and fixed the problem. Thanks for that! I am now able to read and post as I expect.

Hello, I have an account which I have had for years. The other day I cam here to post a question and found myself unable to. It said I do not have permission to post in that thread. I found there is no thread I can post to from that account, including "introductions," "basic" etc. So I tried...

I don't understand this sentence, actually, but it sounds promising so I'm going to say "yes" and hope that works. LOL

OK, well, I'm waiting! I've got all the gear I need, except now Don has my weights because I never did get them from him after all this time! But he loaned me his wetsuit so I'm mostly ready.

Hey, now we're talkin'! Meeting potential dive buddies is what I'm about. I really need them -- I'm a newbie as I said, and need some real dives. How do you recommend I get them in? Are there folks with experience willing to take a newbie in under their wing occasionally? Are you in...

What is a meet and greet? I mean, it's kind of obvious, but what actually happens? People drink beer on a pier then disappear?

Thanks for the good wishes, guys. I'll see you out there one of these days. I need to hook up with Vaqueros Del Mar too

Thanks -- now it looks like a family emergency has cropped up and we won't be there. Be safe and have fun!

Can someone help me decide whether this is going to be OK? We are both newbies but want to dive tomorrow at BW to get some damn dives in before I forget how to do it LOL. I looked at Monterey Sea Conditions at a Glance and it looks like right by BW there is 6 foot swells and deeper out there...

It almost sounds like they are delivering a valuable product for a price that matches market conditions. Damn that capitalism! Outsmarted again? Well, the only weapon available to me is research. I am not hearing any alternatives, so I guess I'll have to buy the OEM cable.

No link? I don't even know what to google? It turns out I thought I bought this cable already but haven't, so I'm interested in cheaper alternatives if they exist.

You are a man of contradictions, I can see. "They charge so much because they can" is the DEFINITION of "supply and demand," silly. If nobody bought them, then they either would stop making them as their profit would fall below what it's worth for them to supply or have to adjust the price.

Yeah, I did that and there were zero for sale. Patience isn't my strong suit -- if I had waited a month or so I might be able to save a few bucks, but I'm diving on the 6th so f-- it.

The software license is a nice angle. I'm a computer scientist -- I guess I should get into the driver-writing business! Hmm.

Nope, not in every kit. I got my compuer brand new for $400, but no cable. True, but I'm a geek

You are correct, sir. I am neither wealthy nor a chef, it turns out. LOL

So I can buy it somewhere else cheaper?

Sorry! No time for that! Gotta go! :auto:

I just wanted to know if I'm the only one who thinks it's completely insane that a cable to connect a VT3 dive computer to a PC is $90. :confused: What makes these cables so pricey? I know there is supply and demand, yada yada, but really, it can't cost more than $15 to make these things, can...
