I'm still using PICs! My latest project is using a PIC32MZ. I'm still maintaining a system using the PIC24H that went into production about 15 years ago and is still being produced. We're about to update the Ethernet to 100 Mbps. Anyway, as others have suggested, an SD card is a lot easier to write to. Microchip has a library for it, and it just uses an SPI port (or even bit bang). If you write it out as CSV, it's easy to import into a spreadsheet. In fact, Windows will open a CSV in Excel by default. Also as mentioned by another, writing to an SPI flash is another option. I do this in several projects for logs. In the PIC24 system, the log from external flash memory is converted to HTML for display on a web UI. But as also suggested by another, programs such as Tera Term can capture incoming data to a file, so you can just dump the log over RS232. Good luck!
