I was talking with the Vibroplex people at Dayton and was told next year is
the 100th anniversary of the Bug and they are still the original design
with some cosmetic changes only.  Still a nice piece of CW gear.

Using a bug is like using a Leica.  Fine mechanical device in an
electronic world.

For all you non-hams, this is a 'bug':
http://www.vibroplex.com/origstd.htm  You send morse code with it.  They
have been  making them since 1890.
