Do you have any midi-keyboard around? Because stdio won't tell you that
a key has been released, only that it has been hit. This limits the "toy
Casio experience" somewhat ... There is of course a workaround - given
that you have root permission, you could read the keyboard
from /dev/input/ instead. This is unfortunately a bit like having a
"keyboard sniffer" installed, which may not be ideal in your
environment. Next step up the ladder I think is fullblown X ...
A virtual midi-keyboard would solve that, perhaps vkeybd?
