Oh joy a new computer!

A few days ago I received a brand new Compaq Evo N800w laptop computer. 2.2GHz P4 M Processor, 768MB RAM, ATI Mobility Fire GL 9000 graphics. This is worth about NZ$ 5500 And best of all it was free! Yes it was given to me by the University of Auckland. It is a thing for graduate students. Of course I have to give it back when I finish my degree, but since I am doing a PhD, that will not be for quite some time yet.

• Blood Glucose: 4.4 mmol/L
• Blood Pressure: 122 / 70
• Height: 170cm
• Weight: 69kg
• BMI: 23.8
• Total cholesterol: 4.95 mmol/L (191 mg/dL)
• HDL: 1.78 mmol/L (69 mg/dL)
• LDL: 3.17 mmol/L (122 mg/dL)

I have given the American units in the brackets for comparison. Not quite sure why the USA uses these non-SI units. Maybe they think it is easier to read? Anyway the conversion factor is 0.02586 found here

EDIT: 3rd June 2004
Had a new test:

• Triglycerides: 1.4
• Total cholesterol: 4.5 mmol/L
• HDL: 1.5 mmol/L
• LDL: 2.3 mmol/L

19 Jan 2011 LDL: 3.2

Just a lame test of slash code 2.2
