Steve has done some amazing things with mobile ham gear and computers,
especially considering that much of his work was done in the 70s and 80s.
Subsequent to his mobile recumbent bicycle projects, last I knew he was working
on doing the same with kayak based sailing vessels with extensive
Years ago, when the Internet was still young, a fellow rode across the USA

The 8 finger keyboard sounds like some sort of keyboard to key direct

It is reminiscent of a keyboard with fewer buttons (I believe it was 6)

But what the creators of this commercial may not realize is that there
are real Morse apps in use for texting. In California you can't text
