Ed:

I hear you loud and clear.

This is why I'm not saying "never" to sending CW with the key-board.

I know it's now an available tool in my tool box, and will try to practice 
with it as I get time.

I can do ok with the paddle probably up to about 30 words a minute or so, 
after which, my sending does get a bit questionable.
