Here's the link: http://www.reuters.com/article/pressRel ... BW20090914

A picture sure would be nice. I was hoping ResMed would actually fix the pillows on the Swift LT. No.... They'll bring out a whole new mask, so we'll have to start fresh by forking over more $$.

Of course not, it would make too much sense to fix something than to create something new that would get them more cash.

I've scanned the web and I've not seen any photos any where for it. I'll try to keep an eye out.

It looks like I would break it, if I sneezed while looking at it.

I posted about this a little while ago. My doc told me about a new mask they were bringing out. The trend is to go for comfort over durability. I think there are gonna be some other masks from Resmed as well. I'm hoping my doc follows through on letting me demo them.

I'm not a pillows fan but actually I'm rather interested in this FX mask. I like "less is better". I'm just not so sure those "straps" across the cheeks won't be hotter n heck and sweaty and stick to your face in the summer.

Nay, jnk. The manufacturers already cater to you men too much when designing masks.

Well, if it's "barely there," let's hope they "barely charge for it."

The way the masks are starting to look, I'll just buy the replacement pillows, use duct tape to attach them to the end of my hose, and then use a big rubber band over my head to hold it all in place. Vent rate might be the only problem I'd have to figure out . . .
