Default Pulling CEL Codes. Buy scanner or have shop do it?

I know you can read the codes from our cars without a scanner,or you can buy an "economy" scanner-both require you to count blinks/beeps,right?
For most of us,beer and blinks(remember the 'check' blinks)may not work--so I was gonna get a local shop to read them for me....$38.00
O'Rielly's (sp?) sells an Equus,part #3145,scanner for $35.99 + tax = $39 and change
I figured for a buck,and doing it when I can/whenever I want(I've got 2 SN95s) it was a good investment

on an SN95, I got the plug-in scanner for mine, only cuz it was 5-finger free. ha ha. On an OBDI engine you can use a simple paperclip straightened to jump the two terminals. I'll look to see which ones they are.

Thanx,Vortex-but I meant I went ahead and bought the digital reader for a buck more than paying the shop to read codes for me-so now I can do both my cars anytime any codes pop up
