Okay,  but the real question is: With 28.35 grams per ounce, how does a scale 
weigh  to one gram accuracy, but only to one ounce accuracy?  No peace for  
Switchback,



How did I get to be the gram weenie  expert on this List?  I say the scale 
probably rounds to the  nearest one gram somehow.  You also wanted to know what 
the difference  was between a ZipLock type bag with and without the slider to 
close it.  In  other words, a bag that you just press together versus a slider 
bag.  I  don't know, since I do not use press together bags.   But..........
 
Three quart ziplock bags weigh = 17  grams or .6 ounces.
Three gallon ziplock bags weigh =  31 grams or 1.1 ounces.
 
EVERYONE ON THIS LIST ARE BUSTING  MY CHOPS ON THIS STUFF!
