Like the thoughtful QRQ artwork showing the spray of notes coming off a fast telegraph key - I appreciate the melodic sound of code sent at 30+ WPM. I can do that with my bugs, but I also want to be able to receive at that rate. I have the Fabian software with word files downloaded and tested on my PC. Seems to be a wonderful idea!
