And I would probably enjoy taking on the technical tests as a challenge. So it's only one hurdle to clear rather than 3. I spent some time learning Morse with an old DOS tutor program. I learned about half the alphabet and after that, it just seemed to get too confusing. And I've always hated rote memorization type tasks anyway... learning to type was really frustrating (but of course it's one of my most valuable skills in that category too). It's not fun until it becomes an instinct, but it can't become an instinct until you memorize the symbolic information (the sound of the CW or the location of the keys). -- _______ http://www.bigfoot.com/~ecloud (_ | |_) ecloud(a)bigfoot.com finger rutledge(a)cx47646-a.phnx1.az.home.com __) | | \__________________________________________________________________
