Oregon scientific stuff seems pretty good, BUT the model I have requires
their own USB receiver (which is not a problem) and their software only runs
on Windows (which is a bit of a problem) and is as flaky as a Cadbury's flaky
Flake (though less chocolaty, which is a real problem.)
If anyone has experience of either making a USB pass through to a Windows
virtual machine in Linux (using VirtualBox or otherwise) or indeed making one
of the Oregon Scientific USB receivers work under Linux, please do post on
list. Having to leave a Windows machine running 24/7 just to gather stats is a
PITA, particularly when the software dies every few days and there are gaps in
all the graphs :(
