Re: SleepyHead 0.9.8-1 Testing Builds

okay - I could not resist so loaded the new version today (win64). It imported the data from version 0.9.6 (win32) and crashed as it looked like it was finishing the import.

Re: Living at 5500 feet versus sea level

sierragail interesting the effect it has had - did the humidity also change a lot from your two locations? I will be going from high humidity MI to very low humidity El Paso TX. Never gave the humidity much thought.
