Can you guys make some real simple (and real cheap) weather stations?

I had a project where I wanted to monitor air and water temperature over
time and have the computer keep track of all the information. I found
some weather stations, but they were all about $300 (USD) and required
Windows.

I needed something real cheap for village horticulture projects. I also
had thought that it would work by reading the ports, but it was all too
far over my level of expertise.

A DOS or BASIC program would be good, especially if it can be done with
recycled hardware.

Bob
