Temperature logger compatible with Mac?

I'd like to measure the temperature in my fridge over a few days and graph the results, since I think the fridge may be starting to fail.

So I'm looking for a cheap device which can run independently on battery power, which logs the temperature and timestamp every few seconds to a file. I want to plug this in to my Mac and retrieve the data. I don't particularly need software to generate the graph: I can do this with Numbers, Excel etc.

This "RC-4" unit pictured below is the sort of thing I'm imagining. However, it doesn't seem to be Mac compatible.

Can anyone recommend a suitable product?

Alternatively, I could set up a Windows installation for this device in VirtualBox, but I wonder if that would handle the USB drivers correctly. Can anyone offer any experience here?
