[Electronics-Talk] Bathroom scale

[Jude DaShiell]

On a related matter I use the iPhone health app to log health data.  I 
found that the body mass index calculation does not update its 
calculation when weight changes get logged even if height is already 
entered.  You have to visit body mass index and add a point to it to get 
your update.

I am not at home, so I can't say exactly which one it is, but I can look when I get home.  I just wanted to let you know I had a similar experience with that glass one.
