Yes, 5 wpm is not such a difficult task to master. There is a sense of
accomplishment getting the code ticket as with anything that takes a
little effort.

The fcc is just going to turn the HAM bands into another place for
morons to hang out like 11m.

There are arguments for code. It's more reliable and takes up a lot
less bandwdth.

Oh yea, ARRL has code practice schedule at www.arrl.org

I used that and NU-Morse to brush up before test. Nu-morse is awsum
program that has 30 day free trial I think.

Yes, but that's pretty much true for anything. I dont see how dropping code
will be that big of a deal.
