Howard,

To each his own.  I bought my first CW keyboard, a used K4KN, 1 letter 
buffer keyboard, back in January of 1980.  I have never gone back and, in 
fact, if I had to use a keyer, a paddle, or a straight key again, I'd give 
up sending CW.  I don't think I could ever give up listening to CW, haw.

Phil.
