He had a wrist terminal/keypad to send messages back up to his friends, as the suit he was wearing was filled with some sort of flurocarbon-fluid he breathed instead of air. This was to protect him from the great pressure of the water at that depth. He commented ( paraphrasing now ) "...But you know I had to come...". Bill I know you couldn't resist, just like me. You just had to come here... :-) -- \\\\|// (o o) ==============================---o00--(_)--00o---============================ Tim Schaefer http://www.gate.net/~tschaefe The Computer Business Company, Inc. tschaefe@gate.net Coconut Creek, FL, USA INXUTIL 2.0 is now absolutely FREE "Rebellion sometimes gives us reason enough to live." --me =============================================================================
