I just released an alpha test version of the [hid] object I am working
on. I'd love to have any feedback people are willing to offer. I made
it output a 4 part message, instead of using four outlets like
[linuxevent] and it uses symbols instead of numbers to represent event
types and codes.

Its still GNU/Linux only, but I am working on the MacOS X version...

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an
idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps
it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the
possession of everyone, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of
it."
