Very confusing to the acronymically challenged. What is HID and why
would I need one?


I checked via Google. It looks like only a couple of definitions would
be applicable to this group.

Acronym Definition
HID Handbook on Injectable Drugs
HID Hazard Identification (NIOSH)
HID Hazardous Installations Directorate (United Kingdom)
HID High Incidence Disabilities
HID High Intensity Discharge (type of light source)
HID Holiday In Dixie (Shreveport, LA, USA)
HID Homogeneous Isotropic Dielectric (air)
HID Host Interface Device
HID Host Interface Display
HID Host Intrusion Detection (network and host security)
HID Human Interface Devices (e.g. keyboards & mice)
