Primary reason being that unlike a real oscilloscope it isn't instantly 
ready to go, I have to get out an old PC that still has a parallel port 
on it it, plug it all in and load up the PC so I tend not to bother. Thats
why I'd like a reasonable stand alone scope that I can just switch on and
use. Silly I know but I find I don't have time to waste like I used to.
