digital multimeter

[Chris Campbell]

I figure this is as good a place as any to gather opinions.  I need to
buy a high school graduation gift for my nephew.  He's very computerish
but not very hardwareish yet.  He's great at math & physics.  I thought
a digital meter would be a good gift.  Now my own metering involves my
old Eico VOM kit from about 1961 and a Simpson 260 and most recently the
Bell & Howell  transistorized meter that list members helped me figure
out.  Digital models are beyond my knowledge.

So here's the question:  what's a good digital meter that's capable and
durable (but not gold-plated)?
