It even logs the goods for you, in a spreadsheet-friendly fashion. So that you can, you know, predict whether it’s going to rain on your laptop. possibly you put a faraway lead on it, and dangle it out the window? I don’t know. For those of you really into that kind of microclimate details collection, it works amidst -40ºC and 120ºC, measures humidity 0-100% and works with XP/Vista. Available now for $24. [Geek Alerts]
