[Elecraft] O.T.: End of (another) era

[EricJ]

I downloaded a Morse "keyboard" for my Galaxy Android phone. It uses the 
"piano" style (side by side) paddle method. I like it because I don't 
have to stare at the keyboard when I send. It's a little weird getting 
used to having to tap a space key between words, but it works. A little 
slow--maybe 7 wpm input--but I like it for texting.

There are a couple of them to choose from on the google store. Don't 
know if there's one for the iPhone. Apple is a little slow to pick up 
old technology.

Interesting concept, but I guess it didn't fly--at least not now.  I still think there is just possibly some merit to this however.  Kids can learn anything!!!!  They text!  It's the "old f**ts" that have problems.
