Gee, why are such common sense steps articulated as being a "new discovery"? The entire society we live in on this planet is being pushed and driven to become more cooperative instead of competitional when interacting. This is a very big mega trend brought about by the latest in communication technologies and the human realization that the other person is both a human being and not just a "customer" or piece of meat that breathes. Why isnt all of medicine and other industries that are primarily service industries, being done this way where the depth of information and sharing of methods and practices is so much more thorough that any common goal, i.e. HEALTH, is reached by the natural alignment of interests instead of being driven by the time/money ratio in the traditional capitalistic paradigm? As a high functioning autistic, I see this as a completely revolutionary change in all aspects of life that will both break the limitations/faults of capitalism, while testing the intelligence and foresight of society to avoid the capture and takeover by the autocratic/bureaucratic tyranny that is marxist/communist economic structures. If we pass this test, time itself will be the new currency of economics and thus lead to a greater level of human happiness and fulfillment since scarcity is steadily being defeated with education and technology. Since my autism prevented me from learning the social paradigms that mankind establishes via social rules, the path to solve human problems by thinking outside of the "box" are much more readily apparent.
Where the %&*$ can I get some help or information on repairing the on/off switch to my 10 year old cpap machine? I like it and HATE HATE AND LOATHE LOATHE LOATHE the newer machines!! I want to keep the machine I have and fully paid for long ago. T/he ONLY problem I have EVER had with this machine is the now present inability to consistently get the on/off button to work. I have to play with it and press it repeatedly until it turns on. Sometimes it is also hard to get it to turn off. The design engineering of the on/off was insufficient for so many presses and it simply needs replacement or alteration, NOT A #$#^ replacement of the machine. I have changed my pressure level and like that "i have hacked into the menu system to have control over my settings!! It is my health/breathing/sleeping not some damn bureaucrat/provider/doctor's !!! Think I am fiercely independent?? LOL Anyway, I have even considered pulling the machine apart and mechanically replacing the on/off mechanism with a simple mechanical rocker on/off switch. It is a RESMED Autoset Vantage S8 machine produced in 2007 and was supplied to me by a durable medical supply company that no longer exists. I do not even see the model listed in the RESMED web site anymore as a discontinued product. I do see the same looking hardware such that the on/off button design on that older hardware must be present. Any ideas or suggestions would be very much appreciated.
