Hmmm ...

10% of the male population is left-handed, 10% of the general population 
can sleep at-will, 10% of the male population has moderate to severe 
color-blindness, and now I hear that 10% of the amateur population 
(nearly all male), who actually use CW and a keyer, use Mode A.

I'm male, I'm left-handed, I sleep at-will (often in the shower), I am 
totally colorblind (as in monochrome), I stick to CW almost exclusively, 
and I use Mode A.  What are the odds?

I heard somewhere (maybe here) that Mode B was a design mistake in the 
first iambic keyer(s).  Maybe that's just an urban legend.  Personally, 
Mode B is a disaster for me if communicating anything other than "IMI" 
is the goal.
