First of all, I want to say a great thanks to all who contribute here. I started as a newbie 2 months ago, and have come a long way towards taking care of myself by reading the posts. I've probably had OSA for ten to fifteen years at least, but through great dedication I managed to sustain a rigorously active outdoors life for many years, working out every day, climbing moutains every other weekend, and backpacking throughout the Southwest. This year at 61 I seemed to "run out of youth", and didn't have the energy to sustain any of it. Even a moderate day's work was enough to exhaust me in the evenings. I was then diagnosed with severe apnea after fighting insomnia for years. The cpap therapy took until now to have enough effect that I could resume some kind of exercise routine, and I just did my first backpacking trip of the year. I feel alot like my old self again, and am thankful to have a new lease on life.
Compared to all the horror stories I've read, I think I am blessed with good doctors and and a workable DME. I started with a straight cpap machine, chosen mostly for it's travel capabilities. When my wife said I was still gasping for air on occassion, the doctors agreed to my request to increase the pressure. Then I discovered this forum, and learned how much I was missing without data capabilities. Another trip to the doctors, and a new prescription was issued the next day. After saying they couldn't/wouldn't provide me with a second machine for insurance reasons, the DME made me a seemingly screaming deal on a PR System One Auto, and now I have both. Two nights have shown me how much more comfortable the breathing experience is, and I am eager to get into the data results.
All my reading indicates that MyEncore is out of date, and Encore Viewer 2 is the way to go, unless anyone can tell me otherwise. I don't mind spending another $100 if that is what it takes. I would like to get a copy of the clinical manual for the System One Auto. I've seen it offered on this forum, but don't want to be presumptous in contacting anyone. If someone could help me out, that would be great.
Thanks again for all the help. A life is a terrible thing to waste.

Yes, that blue eyed beauty is my cat! He is a seal point, bi-color Ragdoll. I adopted him in '08 from folks who could no longer care for him. He is a joy and makes me smile each and every day.

Encore Viewer 2.0 is available at cpap.com for $99. The SD card can be read with any memory card reader. I use the one built into my priner. Cpap.com does have SD card readers too though/

Thanks to everyone for the help. I now have the manual, which resolved an issue with the machine display that the DME couldn't figure out. I've ordered the Encore Viewer software and hope to get started with that asap. The tutorial is most helpful. Thanks again.
