Sometimes analog is better

Went swimming at the Y for the first time in forever and in the locker room they've swapped out the old mechanical scale (the kind with the weights you fiddle around with) for a digital scale.  

1. Stepped on the digital scale. Nothing.  
2. Flipped over digital scale, pushed button on the back, flipped it back, stepped on it. Nothing.
3. Ten seconds later it finishes booting up, stepped on it. 189 pounds. Now, the last time I weighed 189 pounds I had an IBM PC with a 20MB hard drive. For the last decade, I've been in the 200-210 range. So I'm not believing this.
4. Flipped over digital scale, pushed button on the back, flipped it back, waited for it to give some vague indication it was ready, stepped on it. Still 189 pounds.

Well, it's amazing how swimming just makes the weight slough right off.
