- On a related note. My mom has high blood pressure, and uses one of
- those battery powered automatic blood pressure monitor machines manufactured
- by Sunbeam ($120). It is pretty accurate, but not very. I wonder if there
- is a more accurate machine available. I was at the local Fry's computer
- store on the weekend, and they have a PC version of a blood pressure
- monitor. I would guess that it is more accurate since it can test for
- problems. It costs $130, plus the cost of a PC.
