pulse Oximeter CMS-50E - go wireless or not?
I am thinking about buying the Wireless pulse Oximeter CMS-50E. Should I go wireless or not? Where is the best and cheapest place to buy this?

Y'know, I thought about that when I bought my unit. Then I used it a few times and realized that for one's own use it makes no sense. Why run your computer all night while you're collecting data? 200 Watts x 8 hours is 1.6 KWH. Why waste the energy and run up time on your hard disk? Just connect a USB cable to the unit next morning and upload your data to your computer in 15 seconds.
Wireless is only useful if you need to monitor someone in real-time such as in a hospital. As if you are going to be watching the screen constantly. For personal use, I see no advantage.
