Speaking of CW, consider this week's quote from NASA
which appeared the SF Chronicle:
"Responses from Spirit's balky computers are slow . . in
some cases 10 to 40 bits per second . . said James Erickson,
a Mars mission manager. . . At 40 bits a second you'd be
working in Morse Code, and who remembers that any more?
Erickson laughed."

What's really interesting is that there is a James Erickson,
who has an e-mail at the Jet Propulsion Lab where the Mars
stuff is HQ'd, who also happens to have the callsign N6PGC.
Not sure if it's one and the same, but it may be!
FWIW
