While we're on the subject of computer-based CW learning and operating - another perhaps lesser-known setup that may be worth checking out is the CW-over-Internet approach using FLDigi and Mumble software, which provides multi-user, high audio quality, low latency CW over the net via a server.
Some of the great advantages of this system for those wanting to build CW speed is that it's available 24/7 and eliminates the dependency on good band conditions, propagation or being tied to your shack. You can have "live" QSOs in near perfect conditions pretty much whenever you want it, which is a huge help in building skill and speed. Chuck/AA0HW has put loads of research into tweaking the setup for best results, providing ways to interface your paddle and key to the system, generating pleasant sounding sidetones, etc. Users on Chuck's server tend to focus on QRQ but everyone's welcome. Chuck has created videos detailing how to set up the software. Again, a very different experience than sitting in front of a radio, but can be highly enjoyable even for seasoned CW ops.
