Taking care of the computer

by Bill Strathearn
September 16, l998

I worked today to get the docking station and the computer in a water proof contatiner to be transported to the SAS. The dock was too big to fit inside any of the standard dry boxes at the M.R.D.F. I ran to the dive shop to get a dry bag that the computer would fit in. No precaution was too cautious as this computer setup is worth close to $ 7000.00. It was only going to be submerged for a short time, but I have taken very good care of this computer from the day I got it, and I was not going to have it ruined now. I went into the station first and waited for another diver to bring the computer inside. I was pleased when I did not see a drop of water on any of it. Every thing was put in its place and set aside to configure and test another day.

The station was a little smaller than I thought It was going to be but It was very clean and was very evident that lot of care was taken at every step of the construction and design.
