Writing a CSV file will be pretty easy too since it's just a text file and FileIO Xtra handles that pretty well. The biggest issue will be managing the size of the log file. That sucka could get way huge fast. You could monitor the size of the log file and when it approach a limit, auto-generate a new one (log0.cvs, log1.cvs, log2.cvs, etc.).

When I did this, I generated a new log file per day, with a name incorporating the date.

I found, however, that after a while, those responsible for the kiosk maintenance just forgot about the logs. It is probably worthwhile to also delete all logs older than, say, a few months.
