Re: Resmed Report..need help reading
Thank you. I will try. It looked like a lot of events to me as well. But, when I read my nightly report, it didn't report that many. Perhaps I don't understand that either. More to follow.. probably tomorrow.

Re: Software Link for Apple Computer (for Resmed)
Thank you so much Pugsy! This information is exactly what I was looking for. If I take my SD Card out of the Resmed to load the data on the computer, will it want to erase the data when I reinsert the card in the machine? Thank you for helping a newbie!
