why would someone use computer CW?

I play with computer CW because it is fun to mess with. I enjoy computers and I
enjoy CW so putting them together was just another way for me to enjoy the
hobby. I've written programs for keyboarding, computer iambic keying using a
mouse for a key, receiving, auto-logging, canned messages, QSO storage ect.
These are all Basic programs (most in QBasic, some in VB1) and likely not up to
the level of the professional programmers here but still they were fun to write,
test, modify and use. Then I've built interfaces or in some cases with my old
boxes (like my Atari or my 386) modified the computer to key my homebrew tube CW
transmitters directly.

What if everybody used computer CW

If everybody used a computer for CW that would put an end to lousy fists...

What then would the world think of us :-)

What would most of the world think of hams who use computer CW? Well most of the
world can't copy CW so no problem there. But of course most of the world can
copy hams on 75M and RRAP. So what do you think they think??
