Thank you to all who helped with this project, including those who sent
some p-mail with very good ideas.  I have ordered a USB stick that has
one-channel of thermocouple input and Linux-based software as well as
several thermocouples.  Probably no Vanagon application, but it should
be enough to get the data needed for an abstract to get me on the
program for a scientific meeting.
