Re: DME actively discourages use of software?!

I'll go one better than the read-only switch: I have a Linux netbook with a built-in SD card reader, so when it comes time to read the data, in addition to using the read-only switch I'll disable automount on the card reader, manually mount the card in read-only mode, and copy the data to my file se...

In the month between my titration study and followup appointment, I did a fair amount of homework on the machines themselves & life with a CPAP -- including, of course, reading threads here -- so when I walked into my DME's office for the familiarization and train...
