I think this guy has been watching too much television. :-) Let me see
now.  He wants to capture something about a mouse (Saturday morning
cartoons ?).  Then there is something about a little black kid named
Webster.

Maybe I don't understand.  I've been programming in Objective-C for
seven years now and I don't understand what this question has to do
with Objective-C.

I suggest that questions like this belong in comp.sys.next, NOT
comp.object or comp.lang.objective-c.

There is, of course, a problem that the question might be lost in the
volume of comp.sys.next.  In that case, it might be appropriate to
create comp.sys.next.programming (or some such).

{ NO, I am NOT flaming Mickey Mouse, Webster, John, or television in general. }

As always, this is my opinion, for which I am solely to blame...
