Yes the word obsolete is very subjective. And it "obsolete" means different
things to different people. My posts here are my *opinion*. You have stated

Yes for contest or DX operation. But for relaxing CW operation a
computer can do just fine. Some of my recent QSOs
have been with people who admittedly don't know CW and
are using a computer. I don't mind as we are both having
