I like this application because it's informative. Just browse by category (ex: scented candles) and you're set.

Thank you Elizabeth Chambers! You are something special...

This app was my idea and coded by my father, Leonard G. Barton. Dad hand coded MacDraft back in 1984, the number one CAD program of 1984. It was the first program for the original Macintosh that allowed users to move a created object in 360 degrees.

The app is normally $2.99, but we are dropping the price down to $.99 for the first week of 2009 in your honor :)

The key to save energy, the planet and money with this app is learn from the feedback it provides which includes a 30 estimated electric use based on the last reading. I used it every day for two weeks and now I'm saving about $50/mo on my Power Bill (PG&E).

Now I just use it every time I take out the recycling bin and if I see that I'm running a little higher than I want to be I'll make some small changes... that's it.

It works so much better than I ever imagined. I'll probably save more money using this thing than what we'll make selling it. We are going to update the app soon to include gas meter readings, multiple meters, point to point usage and more!

Hopefully more people will give it a try. Either way, we are committed to make it better with future updates coming soon.

Thanks again Elizabeth!

And, thank you DAD!

You both ROCK!
