Am I approaching it's demise or does it have a few years left in it? do you have a backup machine? No, I do not have a backup machine. NOT saying your dreamstatio...

Re: Lifespan of a Phillips Dreamstation

I do not have a backup. - I'd delete this post, but there is no delete button for this one.
