I want to monitor temperature of cooking/cooling meat and have it logged into a computer. Why? Just to fool around with it.

Anyone know of a reasonably priced USB probe? I can find fancy-schmancy ones at science places , but I don't want to spend >$75.

Check www.thermoworks.com - the problem is you get what you pay for, and $75 doesn't buy much these days, although if you get a TW-USB-1 USB device for 59.95 and a Fast Response Meat Needle Probe for $30.00 - you'd only be over your budget by $5, and even if you get a Straight Type K Extension lead, 118" (3 meters) for $16 - you are still only $21 over your target price. Good news - software is free!
