443.0. "Ordering "On Program" calculators" by VICKI::BACON () Tue May 02 1989 14:08

    I'm planning on ordering one of those "On Program" calculators that
    is advertised in Weight Watcher's Magazine (and probably other 
    health related magazines also).  There is a discount if you order
    more than one, so I thought I'd see if anybody else is interested
    in getting one before I pay the higher price for only ordering one.
    
    Price:  $52.95  for one  (includes shipping and handling)
    
       or   $41.95  for more than one (includes Shipping and handling)
    
    I'd like to place the order on Monday, May 15th, so 
    contact me before then if you're interested.
    
    Thanks,

443.1	How about the WW one?	COOKIE::WILCOX	Database Systems/West	`Tue May 02 1989 15:03`	7
	Molly, I know it's a rather "fancy" electronic one, but is it really that much better than the non-electronic version you can buy from Weight Watchers? Not trying to discourage you, just didn't know if you had seen the WW one. Hey, anything that keeps you motivated! Liz
443.2	What are they	EMASS::SICA	Long and winding road...BUT..!	`Tue May 02 1989 16:41`	4
	I've never seen one. What are these, ie what information to they store...?? Paul S.
443.3	In one easy lesson	COOKIE::WILCOX	Database Systems/West	`Tue May 02 1989 17:07`	4
	Paul, you can key in how many of what type of exchanges you've had along with how many optional calories. With the WW version, you just move some plastic button-like things over a notch or two.

	I didn't know WW even offered anything like this. I'll have to see if they have one at my meeting that I can take a look at. But, being the computer nerd I am, I'll probably stick with getting the calculator. It looks like a very compact, and easy format to read and use. Paul, if you're interested, let me know and I'll send you a xerox copy of the ad. It shows the calculator and describes it. - Molly -
443.5	LIKE THE ELECTRONIC ONE	VAX4::DAVIS	ENIS DAVIS - DTN 264-8746	`Thu May 04 1989 19:35`	14
	HI! I have the electronic calculator you speak of and I like it very much. Unfortunately I could not find anyone to purchase one so I paid the higher price. I like it very much. I saw the one WW offers, and I like the electronic one better. It is easy to keep track of your exchanges and optional calories, and you can program the exchanges and calories yourself as you go through the different weeks and if you are lucky enough to get on maintenance. It is much easier then writing everything down. Enis

	Thanks for the info Enis. I haven't talked to anyone who has one, so I was just going by the advertisement. It's nice to hear a good report from someone who's got one. Thanks, - Molly -
443.7	What you have left	VAX4::DAVIS	ENIS DAVIS - DTN 264-8746	`Fri May 05 1989 16:13`	13
	Molly: I was just thinking how much I like the calculator and I checked this file to see if you had read my note. The calculator is set up so that it shows you what exchanges you have left not how many you have used up which is one of the reasons I like it so much. It is so easy to see at a glance how many optional calories you have left! Enjoy.

	Last chance to let me know if you want to order one. I'll be ordering the calculators tomorrow morning. Thanks, - Molly -
