Well guys, my elmer played code practice tapes for his first born when the
kid was asleep.  He is amazingly fast now.  He's not into amateur radio
but, if he ever wants to be, he can copy code with no problem.

I have one one the way and I think that code at 440hz note and about 7wpm
makes a nice relaxing sound. [evil grin]
