I am in my third year of college and I am going to school for an EE degree. I am always repairing and designing of all types of electrical circuits. I am also a live sound engineer and network administrator. For the past ten years or so I have been using my fathers old analog multimeter but I think that it is time that i invest in a new one. I have done some searching and I like the ones that can connect to the computer to log information. I want something that I can use for the rest of my life. Features are nice but low price is also a nice thing because I am a starving college student. Since this is something I plan to use for the rest of my life, I dont mind spending a little extra though.
Does anyone have any suggestions on SPECIFIC products?

Gotta agree, Fluke is my preference. The 87-V True RMS Multimeter is beauty. It has Min/Max, auto or fixed ranging, audible continuity, diode test, capacitance, Hz, and even comes with a thermocouple for temperature measurement in F and C. If you inadvertently leave the leads in a current-measuring configuration and switch it into a non-current range, it beeps and displays "Leads." Saves you from yourself. Got mine from Newark.com on sale for $300 (Normally $360).

You'll cry when you see the prices on the Flukes, but buy one and you'll not have to worry about it ever again.
