let me tell you my RemStar Auto story. I bought a used one at a low price. When I opened it, I knew why the price was so low. It was in a cigarette smoker's house, and it stank bad. So, I got some "smell killer", I don't remember the brand, and proceded to take it apart. I cleaned everything inside ...

I think the key here is the size of the scrapbook pages. Of course it's easy if the pages are 8.5" x 11' or smaller. However, mo...

..assuming you have fair-to-good computer: 1) Get a medium-priced Epson flat bed scanner (I have a 3170). 2) Get a good, low-cost, editor with a tag library, I suggest Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0. 3) Buy, read, and do all the lessons in "Classroom in a Book for Photoshop Elements" 4) If the pages w...

The exhaust leak rate of the Adaptive Flow Hybrid is around 33 liters/minute at 10 cm and 42 liters/minute at 15 cm Now we are getting somewhere. I guess I need two toothpicks. I still think it was a runaway pressure problem with ResMed Autos.. Two toothpicks tonight. If I get a headache, I'll let ...

I tried "Adaptive Flow", by putting a toothpick in one of the vents. This action reduces the 'Passive Exhalation Port Flow" by 1/6 th. So how much does the "real" Adaptive Flow unit reduce the "Passive Exhalation Port Flow"? Oh, I really couldn't tell any difference with the toothpick.maybe I need t...

track, I use the medium mouth-piece with the large nasal pillows. I would say I could also wear the large mouth-piece, with either the large or medium pillows. However, the curvature of the mouth-pieces are all different, and I cannot maintain a seal with the large mouth-piece. If you have a long, n...

I was able to delay CPAP for three years by:
1) Training myself to sleep om my side.
2) BreathRite strips.

However, the problem (low O2 sat) did return. I got back on the hose,
after a couple night-time A-fib events, and the associated electrical shock

Either, as well as the older 1.5 version for your Tank on XP.
If you want to cover both plus Vista, 1.8 is needed.
