Right - but the text messagers weren't done entering the message before the 
Morse ops were done. The delay in the SMS system was immaterial - they never 
got to the point of sending, at least from what I saw.

Besides, the challenge was simply which mode was faster. That was clearly 
demonstrated.

Oddly enough, I've encountered many a cell phone that announces an incoming 
text message by sending "SMS" - in Morse!
