Thanks for the replies. I was so tired I spelled my first name wrong. I think the most cost effective way is to just use one of the PIC USB chips and go that route. Sooner or later, computers most likely won't have a serial port so I think I would have to start sometime. I have seen some schematics on the internet for a PIC to USB connection with some sample coding. I'll give that a try and see what I come up with.
