Lori,
Do I take it that you have resolved the differences between Encore Pro and MyEncore? Had me worried for a minute

Derek,
Can you say, DUMB??? Because you can apply that to me. When I was reading the Encorepro, I was thinking, under each pressure category, it was one event for that length of seconds. It's not. It's listing the pressure categories that had events occur under them and how many there were, not one per pressure and how many seconds each one was, for that night. So when I went to Myencore and saw multiple episodes, I thought it differed. Come to realize that they are actually the same.
I am sorry to worry you. I LOVE your program and it's so nice of you to put it out there for all of us to download free of cost. You are a very generous man. In case no one has said it lately, THANK YOU!!!!

And thanks for inquiring...sorry to worry you.

Just another testimonial here that the Mako DT3500 USB "sliding" card reader being sold for $24 plus shipping by the Hong Kong company, 2factors.com (that Tridens told us about) worked for me too! I bought one as a back up. Tried it out this morning....perfect! It's the same Infineer card reader as the very pricy one I already had.

A CD with drivers came with it, but I didn't use the CD. The drivers were already installed in my computer since I'd been using Encore Pro and the card reader that comes with it for quite some time. I simply plugged the new reader in, and it worked perfectly with Encore Pro and the Smart Card.

Thanks, sleepyman for starting Tridens on the trail! And thanks, Tridens for finding that source and lab-ratting it! Quite a savings for a card reader that reads the Respironics machines' Smart Card just fine.

RG,

You made me open up and look in the box that my card reader came in to see if they gave me drivers, too. They did. I didn't use them, though, because Tridens had already given me instructions that inside of the utilities file on your computer that gets installed with the software, there are the drivers there. So I used those.

Isn't it nice to save money on something that really works? That's why I figured I'd take a chance and try it. What's a big $24 if it didn't work? But it did. With all the money we spend on things for get CPAP to be as beneficial and as tolerable as we can get it to be, what's another $24? A burger in NYC nowadays costs that.
