Hope this is not too off-topic...
If anyone is looking for a (very) basic scope or logic probe, the pickit2 programmer may be worth a look.
Its a USB programmer for PICs (ie. not the picaxe ones, or you loose the bootloader).
But it also contains a 3ch logic probe (2channels with pullup), a TTL level serial (interface directly to serial stuff, without an max232), and a 3ch scope that measure up to 1mhz, only for short time and pretty basic program to see the results, but it works (2ch still with pullup).
It can be had for 50$, and clones even cheaper (dont know if all clones support the tools mentioned).
