Nothing, I only mess around with electronics in my
spare time.  The concept was just a fun idea since I
like to "PIC apart" various pieces of hardware.

I don't like using ASCII codes all the time, but I
guess there's a way to send binary info without
converting to/from ASCII.  Although I must admit,
using RS232 for debugging/output has been such a help
with my learning.

Actually, when I originally posted, I tried my best to
avoid the same old run around where people tell me how
there's so many other ways to do what I suggest
(hacking a mouse for it's USB).  I am/was fully aware
that there's many ways to get USB with a PIC and that
RS-232 is so easy, but I was merely suggesting an
alternative to a UV erasable PIC or using RS232 in
some form or another.

I guess I'm the only poor man in here who likes to
mangle hardware for fun .... hehehe

BTW. I am very excited for the new Flash-based PIC
with hardware USB to come out.

Anyway, Peace
