The Straight Key Century Club had a contest a few months ago where you got 
bonus points for using a side swiper, or kootie key as it's called.  So I 
hooked both sides of my paddle together, and attempted it.  It takes some 
practice, but I think I could get used to it, but it felt good to go back to 
the bug after that contest, hi.

Dave,
Nope, you don't quite make the CW nut catagory, no hand key and owning a CW
keyboard should be illegal! <GRIN>
Kidding of course.
Ever tried sending with a "side swiper?"
