I sort of like my CW drawl and probably won't change much in the next few
years.  But are many of you changing to keyboards?

During contests, I always let the computer generate the CW, even sometimes using the keyboard feature, although I'll occasionally reach for the paddles.

The computer can send faster and more accurately than I can.

Keyboards aren't a new phenomenon. I remember being active in a slow- speed traffic handling net in the late 70s and one of the net controls was a blind ham who would regularly do 40+ wpm with a keyboard. It was funny to listen to him close the net at 5 wpm, then crank it up to 40 wpm a minute later.
