Fabulous Sci-Fi, spoke to me on a personal level
Well worth a read to all with an interest in Sci-Fi or paperback novels. The books are early in Harry Harrison's carrier; the Deathworld Omnibus starts with his first novel, written in 1960, which tells the story of Jason dinAlt who is asked to do a job for a mysterious man with soon to be reviled motives.
The novel becomes thrilling as Jason dinAlt tries to solve the mystery of Pyrrus, a planet with some rather strange inhabitance, the story meets all the same notes as the later Stainless Steel Rat but is by no means the same in story or characters.
The next two stories, 1964 then 1968, both using some of the main characters from the first, both are just as interesting as you can expect from Harry Harrison and it is also worth reading the Stainless Steel Rat.
Note: the Novel 'Deathworld 2' is also known as 'The Ethical Engineer' and 'Deathworld 3' is also known as 'The Horse Barbarians'
These are personal favourites and I love all of the authors work that I have read. Please read the books if you are at all interested as you will plummet into the fictional world and struggle to put the book down.

Digital Miniuture Scale
This scale was very pleasing to test, I went to my kitchen, set it to oz and weighed some very old 1/4 oz weights. Four of the five weights measured 0.250 oz exactly.
After seeing this, I tried to measure some very small plastic items and I was impressed with the consistency of results. The only problem that I encountered was when I put the scale on a table which was not perfectly level...
The above issue was mentioned in the instruction manual but if you are using it in a shop, home lab or for hobbyist purposes then it should be fine.
I would recommend this to a jeweller or similar if you don't want to bring your super expensive high precision scale when looking to buy jewellery or supplies however if you are going to carry it around make sure it is the type with a plastic lid built in so you do not damage the scale.
This unit runs from two AAA batteries, normally AAs are better however the system needs to be thin and for that AAAs are a necessary evil. That being said, it will not run out as quickly as other appliances; particularly if it is most often turned off and only used sparsely.
The system I purchased has a resolution of 0.01g, 0.001tl, 0.001oz, 0.01ct and 0.1gn. Not all of these are useful to me but it will be suitable for imperial or metric.
Have fun weighing...
