One meter       produced absurdly high readings when the battery was low; the only way to       diagnose this was to put in a        fresh one since the meter did not have a LO BAT indicator (I assume it was too       low for the band gap reference).              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
