And the
mercury in my thermometer is frozen anyway...
You should replace the obsolete piece of junk with a new digital one.
Consdiiering the idfiot EU Bureaucrats have banned mercury-in-glass
thermometers (I believe), I might just have to :-(
If you're short on digital thermometers, take a
modern PC that you find
on the curb from a neighbor pitching it, and run it to use its on-board
ambient temperature sensor though an ActiveX app running on Windows 7 to
tell you the temperature.
It's Better. Trust Me. :)
What if I need to measure the temperature of a liquid where there's no
mains power around?...
I do have a digital termometer set-up. Of course it's related to a
classic computer (HP41 + Data Acquisition ROM + HPIL + HP3421 +
thermocouple or Pt resistance thermomneter)
