Uh-Huh.......... Like an ear-to-ear grinning green glob is the first thing I want to see when I wake up? I think not..... I'd rather see the miserable cats than that.
I have never yet pushed whatever button my machine thinks I should push to see the green smiley, or the red snarly first thing in the morning. Not going to do that.

Can't find the red sad face, but here's the happy green smiley face anyway:
I was just kidding about never wanting to see the data - I'm a technical geek at heart, but I must admit there are times when I get overly-geeked-out and don't want to deal with all the details of sleep apnea data analysis. It's times like those that I'm perfectly happy just hoping to see the S9 green smiley face in the morning.
