Just what is a data acquisition system? Simply put, a data acquisition system is any device that records and stores data for later interpretation. For the price of a couple of sets of tires, you can have a pretty trick setup that can give you more information than you ever dreamed of having for your car and you as a driver. “Data acquisition is too expensive,” they shriek.

And before we had desktop publishing, people would communicate by tying messages to birds, then covering the birds with wax and sticking them to pasteboards and running them through conventional printing presses.
