Apple doesn't hold a candle to this. Really doesn't. And I say that as an engineer that has been around for a while:

Imagine extending this with gestures... like a slow swipe across the dash key is two dashes, a quick one is three! Ditto for the dot. And for conferencing in three people, two hands, four fingers and the nose!

you're on a roll ;)

So that was a joke?

Decades ago I was a ham radio operator, and this youtube got me thinking I should download a copy of the code so I could freshen up on it!

I still don't think I could use the code and be as fast as I can peck in the letters, even with the typos on a glass screen.

As far as the split screen for morse coding to two people at once, I did have a parasitology professor in college that wrote two discrete lines on the blackboard simultaneously. One with his right and one with the left hand. He was frightening to watch. We were all afraid very afraid. . . .

After going to youtube, I read the comments, and it appears that this clip made its debut about April 1 this year.
