But it's good exercise, Dave, and keeps the old wrist muscles supple 
preventing you getting arthritis during advancing age.  I often get out 
the old brass pounder for a change from the paddle. Receiving hand sent 
Morse is also good practice;  I am sure we are spoilt by the ease of 
reading the near prefect code sent by paddles.
