Fall colours. One of God's gifts. Life is fragile and short, savour every moment no matter what your problems may be. These stunning fall colours from my first outing after surviving a month on life support due to H1N1.

After 1 month on the s9 started to feel sleepy through the day so swapped back to the s8 back to normal now, don't know why this is, guess I will save the s9 as back up.

For me, the great reduction of sound conducted through the hose (although the two machines radiate a similar noise level) has made using the S9 a distinct improvement; it feels smoother somehow. Traveling recently, I took along my S8, and really missed the newer machine.

My only experience is with the S9 so my comments will be bias. I really like it. My wife was kind of upset that it wasent any louder then it is. She was hoping to not to have to sleep with a fan in the winter.
