Once heard a story about an elderly Navy radio operator vet who had a bad stroke and could not speak. A young doctor (who was a Ham) heard him beating CW out with a spoon on the side of a wheel chair. When he realized what was happening, he furnished him a key, and the young doctor could not keep up with the old guy. The mind is an amazing device.

Next time I have a tube down my throat, the kids will have a laptop (because they can't copy code) and my bug available. They figured it out pretty quick, but couldn't do anything about it. Which is why the grandsons are learning CW while still in diapers.
