Hi all,

I have been using a Tanita jewelers scale, .002 mg, (the one that Don
Slusarcyzk arranged a one time deal for several years ago) and it
measures down to .002 mg just fine. The only problem is that the
battery saver keeps turning it off but Bill Gowan said to keep
tapping the tare button every so often and it thinks it's working and
stays on. A pain but it works.
