is it possible to use a computer as a CRO ( Cathode Ray Oscilloscope ) ?

I mean.....can we somehow use a printer cable or some other cable to measure voltages and observe waveforms generated by circuits? If yes, how?
If no...........y not??

Yes. There is freeware that uses your sound card digitizer to display low-frequency signals on the computer.

There are also PCI cards available that are oscilloscope front-ends, and use the computer graphics to display the waveforms.
