Oh... memory lane... this actually made me compile Subsurface-1.0 again. And as 
expected, the hardest part was to find a matching libdivecomputer version. I 
really need to tackle that submodule thing. But instead I'm spending time on 
archeology... :-)

Yes, definitely.

Yes, very much so - but by 1.0 we had already lost that brilliant concept.
Some ignorant twit made you change this. I found the commit:

commit d5b102bdf3c2f1e78c51fe8b81e8ff134c30d012

    Flip tank pressure graph to show the RIGHT way
    
    This annoyed me from the first moment Linus added the tank pressure graph.
    As the pressure goes down, the graph needs to go down. Seriously.

Just 10 days before 1.0 came out... and in those ten days you added 72 commits 
to Subsurface. Those were the days :-)

Yeah, that was part of the problem... :-)
