Re: Question for you "Computer Techies" out there

FYI

A dell XP cd will run on any machine. The biggest difference is that you will need a valid "Product ID", and it will require activation (you cahnge product key during activation)

A dell xp, or vista cd for that matter will install on a dell machine without activation.

Re: Aerophagia - where to go from here?

I've struggled with this for over a year until about a month ago. The solution for me was moving to an auto BiPAP. I was on straight CPAP at 10, and had severe bloating and cramps. Reducing the pressure eliminated the bloating and cramps but my AHI went way up. After moving to the BiPAP with IPAP Ma...

Re: What Oximeter? DH Medical sucks.

I placed an order for it with Turner Medical, and it should be here next week.

I caution anyone dealing with DH Medical. I think it's a fly by night operation.
