(snip of a rather lengthy history of Leonard Anderson involvement with

A rather long time ago I was doing HF communications transmitting
the old-fashioned way...manually, on tube equipment.

A great many of us did that too.

HF radio
changed but lots of olde-tymers couldn't.

A lot more could and did.

I began in personal
computing via microprocessors and programmable calculators a
quarter century ago and that changed. Dramatically. I know one
PC olde-tymer who is still slogging along at DOS level, refusing to
change to any form of GUI even though much younger than I and
got into it later than I. Can't understand that.

Is there a reason he should change doing what he enjoys simply because
you can't understand it?

Is there a relationship between DOS v. Windows on PCs and
the all-manual, hold to morsemanship-at-all-costs-amateurs? Yes.
I see it, have seen it.

You might see something which you perceive as similar. Then again, you
have no experience in morse code use or experience in amateur radio.
That inexperience leads you to write things like
"morsemanship-at-all-costs". Please explain what method you currently
use under MS Windows (any version) to delete a file which the Windows
program is using at that moment. Can you say "DOS"? ;-)
