Just off the news:

Computer grid operator in Ohio at the beginnining of the Big Blackout,
in response to an
inquiry::

"Our computers are all acting up, too! We don't even know the status of
the stuff around
us!"

Yep, lets all put ALL our faith and confidence in Karl and his Komplete
Komputerized Kommunications Konsortium!!

What are you ranting about?

There's a whole spectrum of modes between CW and PSK31 that don't
require computers.

And besides, the power distribution system isn't using amateur radio
anyhow.

Sheesh!

He's ranting about all the great engineers that are frothing at the mouth to
get into Ham Radio but can't because of the "CW Boogie Man".
Just what we need, more "rocket scientists".

Also, after reading some of the replies to NCI's petition, you people really
need to invest in spell checkers. LOL
