Hi Cookie, I have seen that video and it is well beyond the degree of motion that I use on the bug.
In fact, I have a Viz right-angle bug which is a lighter key and requires a lighter touch than the typical Vibroplex. And I use it without benefit of any epoxy, superglue, and/or anchor bolts holding it down to the desk as a lot of bug users seem to do. If I was really "slamming" it like in the video it would walk off the desk in short order, haha! Even so, that slight initial tap on the leading dahs is enough to make my K3 go "TICK"! 73, Drew AF2Z On Sat, 19 Jun 2010 10:05:52 -0700 (PDT), you wrote: >Drew, you have been watching the lady operator with the long finger nails on >the Night-of-Nights Utube video too much.
