And I had such a struggle when the CEO of drum-less drum kit company MidiSticks pointed me at this gorgeous miniature digital scope - for about £50.
And it stores waveforms on a microSD card.
There is a review at JustBlair
It turns out that Seeed Studio also sells an even cheaper scope, this time with 5Msample/s 
which also comes in kit form and kit form with the SMD parts already soldered
This scope comes from Jye Tech
And there is a rather nice tribute to its designer in the Seeed website.
"People talked about an oscilloscope for DIYers , that's how we know about JYE tech. Mr. Liu is an admirable experienced engineer, being the first generation of university EE student after culture revolution. His seriousness on documents and every detail amazed me."
Thanks Mr Liu.
