While I have no use (YET) for PIDs I do commend Wouter for making the investment to help us 'follow the rules' for USB use. May I suggest that you get your PIDs NOW since it will save you a huge cost later, when you eventually need one, and will make Wouter's wife a bit happier . Given the global reach of this list, and the large numbers of people wanting to experiment with USB, I don't expect Wouters PID offer to last too long.
