I had a machine go bad once. It didn't fail precipitously, it just wasn't keeping up the pressure, and it seemed to strain to do that. I was on vacay, and it was my backup machine.

I had a new machine on order the day I returned from vacation (and reviewed my sd card data).<P>

Backup machine, masks, hoses, and a charged backup battery -- and I haven't missed an xpappian night in over 10 yrs.
