What serious CW operator cannot send Morse faster than he/she
can text-message? I don't know of anyone including me. But
give me a full sized keyboard and the situation changes.

Not only is the bit entertaining, it proves the point of newer not
always being faster.


Given no previous experience and one hour of training for
each mode, which would win? :-)
