So if your ideas are so great, why
aren't there any high end manufacturers which have keys or paddles

dozens of them on the market. Or maybe they know I'm right and you're
wrong.

Have you done a survey of all keys on the market? I haven't. Maybe
I'll
patent the idea if no one is doing it.


This guy here sells optical keys.

Ah an ornamental morse tapper. The HK102 semi-automatic I got at
Galashiels, original box and paper work, didn't look as though it had
ever been used in anger. The settings seemed alll wrong. I've been
practicing with it for 3 weeks and keep forgetting I have to make my
own dahs. I'll never be as cool as DA.

wish I had seen that ......these two HK808s one cost me £36 at Newbury rally
and one cost me £40 at Blackpoll.......wonder if my advert will put people
off ? ......

I'm never going to buy from someone who writes compliment instead of
complement. even ironically; it is a bad influence on those unlikely
to get the joke. Which apparently includes me.
