     I am looking for some way or some equipment which would allow me to 
connect a personal thermometer or barometer or some such simple measuring 
device to my personal computer.  I want to get the data from the 
thermometer or such into the computer.  Then I can store or read it from 
my pc.  Surely, scientists do this daily with expensive equipment.  Is 
there an inexpensive way to do this at home using ordinary personal 
equipment at a moderate price??  Anybody doing this or know how or know 
where I can buy the appropriate equipment and/or software?
