use 'em for taking notes, writing procedures at work, and programming an 
older CNC milling machine. They'd be a good machine for many HomePower folks, 
as they're extrememly frugal with the power requirements.
One fella in CA had a business years ago where he built interfaces for a Mod 
100. The whole thing was powered by a small solar panel, sat out in a field 
or orchard, taking some sort of measurements and storing them in the 
mputer.
Seems like you could come up with an A/D convertor and feed it into the 
computer somehow or another. There used to be an outfit called Alpha Products 
that advertised in the old Rainbow magazine (dedicated to the Radio Shack 
Color Computer). Alpha products had a whole line of goodies, A/D convertors, 
relay switchers, and interfaces for the COCO, Model I/III, and IBM PC. I have 
one of the latter setups with a reed relay board and 8-bit convertor that I 
was going to use for data gathering. Although it cost me considerably more 
than that RS DVM mentioned earlier, it has a lot of versatility. (no, I don't 
want to sell it)
