[time-nuts] What do people use for measuring temperature?

[Hal Murray]

I've got a collection of 1-wire gizmos and USB thumb drives.  They are great 
for many applications but I'm looking for something better/different.

I'd like something that reads to 0.01 degree or 0.001 degree.  I don't need 
accuracy.  What I want is reasonable linearity so I can make pretty graphs.

I'd like the actual probe to be small enough so I can poke it inside gear like 
a PC and attach it to a crystal.

I'm looking for a USB or serial connection so I can log the data.

Is there an obvious brand/whatever I should be looking at? thermistor? 
thermocouple?  ...

I don't care about a display on the device.  I don't want a logger, they fill 
up.  I want to grab the data on the fly and do my own logging.  (But I'm happy 
to use a logger if it will do what I want.)
