Santacruz -- Sorry, I'm not any help with the mask question. I've always used a Redsmed Ultra Mirage Full Face Mask because I'm a mouth breather and a nasal mask won't work for me. Hope you find the answers you're looking for.

murried, yes that's right. I download mine every 4 or 5 days and get all the useful daily data about events etc. I think I've read the card can hold just over a week of the useful stuff, but I've not tested the limit just in case I miss a few days!

Santacruz, since you signed your post with the name "Bill", I'm assuming you're a man. If so, you might want to click the following link to read about the problems some of the guys are having with the currently available sizes (Medium and Large only) for the Aura. The size of your nares might be the deciding factor in whether you want to give the Aura a try now, or wait until they finally come out with "Extra Large" pillows.

Topic started by Derek - Mar 24, 2005 subject: I guess the Aura is not for me...

The Breeze was my favorite for a long time. The Aura is my favorite now, but the Breeze is still a very, very good interface for many people. I still like it too. With the Breeze, a lot depends on what sleeping position you prefer. If you sleep mainly on your side, the Breeze is very good for that, and comes with optional stabilizing side straps to keep everything steady. Do get larger nasal pillows than most people fitting you would say you need. If you sleep mainly on your back, it's harder to keep the Breeze from tugging upward at your nose. The Swift is better for people who sleep almost all the time on their back, and a good many side sleepers like it too, but I preferred the Breeze for side sleeping.

The Aura is great in any sleeping position, but only if the nasal pillows are big enough to seal well for you.

I believe the smart card can handle close to three weeks.
