HI William,

I second the 2025.

It has much better history than the 2020 but much more usable than the Pentametric.

Speaking of "PCs", you can also add a greenMonitor Lite with the PentaMetric option. It works pretty well and can send email and has a small web interface of what is going on. Of course, all that will add up in cost...
