RE: A Simpler Sub

["Morrisson, Richard D" <Richard.Morrisson@PSS.Boeing.com>]

Perhaps he realizes such a controller has a very large potential market
to SCUBA divers who don't want to spend so much time monitoring their
depth and buoyancy.  If he does have a truly functional and compact
unit, it would have a significant market.  That raises a good question
too.  Is such a device already on the market, and can it be adapted to a
sub?  Food for thought.
