Go look at standard hardware prices, Rand. You can put together a
general purpose computer for a few hundred dollars. Add some A/D
boards hooked to your instruments (which you need in any case) and
you're pretty much done. Hell, you probably don't even need to worry
about A/D if you're using halfway modern instruments.

This ain't rocket science. Maybe that's why it's beyond you to
understand.

Still waiting. But not holding breath.
