In fact, you can even download their logging software. I wonder if they would let us "evaluate" a couple for a few weeks?

Looks like just what the doctor ordered ! I didn't see a price list but I'll make the leap and guess it's more than I'd care to pay (like that's a leap) Good info though, sounds like 30 Hz is a better sampling rate. So let's see 30 x 60 secs x 60 mins x 24 hrs x 7 days * 1.25 FF = ~ 23 MB of storage. No problem there. I may actually have to make one, if only to get (back) into uC programming and to learn the tools. Many fun and useful widgets can be made from them.
