Not too long ago, I was of that mind, but then I was able to see CW in action 
in the 1997 F5 tornado in Jarrell, Texas.  So, it was then I decided to get my 
ham license (I got it in November of 1997).  However, I didn't have time to 
study the code yet and haven't had until now, with major life changes such as 
a divorce and a move to reestablish myself.

Hopefully, I'll be able to get a tone generator soon and work on learning the 
code the old fashioned way. ;)

73,
Sean
