Update. Wife had put some miles on the RX. Light has NOT come back on. The last time the dealer reset it, it came on within the day. So I believe the cel is mileage based. It could be mph based also but I doubt it.
So it looks like the maf cleaning thing did the trick.
Oh and I'm looking into an OBDII scanner/data logger from Auterra

We have a Palm at home and these Palm/PC based units seem to have more features than the cheaper all in one units like the Actron types. I'm lurking ebay waiting for a decent deal.
BTW. Although my RX is a 2000 model, some of you might want to consider getting one that has CAN. This is going to be standard in cars starting in a few years. CAN versions can still read the obdII though. But it's more expensive.
