If you really want to know about morse code and how it can be used,
contact Dennis Brown, who previously did tech support for ASAP and ASAW.
He uses this type of input as he has no hands, due to Viet Nam. It is my
understanding that he can input as fast as many people can type and his
output is what one would ordinarily find on any list.

Many physically handicapped people use a puff and sip switch to input with
morse code. This includes people who are unable to talk. It is much faster
for them than something such as eye gaze.

Morse code is not out dated and can be used to communicate with mainstream
populations who know nothing about it. It is basically a transparent input
device.
