A race to the wire as old hand at Morse code beats txt msgrs - Britain - Times Online
i couldn't help but smile while reading this. A couple of old (not aged, senior, etc. these guys are OLD, at least chronologically) guys were able to send and decipher a message (full text) quicker than a nimble 13 year old girl, armed with a lexicon of SMS shorthand was able to send an SMS with the same content. i could just imagine the smile on the faces of 93 years old Gordon Hill and his young counterpart, 82 years old Jack Gibson.
there is just one thing to say:

Gulla
hi Gulla,
much like everyone else i've been googling myself, and found some Icelanders with the same last name (i believe there's one Leif Snorre Boasson in Iceland if i'm not mistaken). My last name originates in the Netherlands though. In fact, my daughter and I have only recently regained our Dutch nationality. I think the Dutch were experiencing a shortage of Boassons...
Hi again!
Thanks for the informations. My fathers name was Bóas so I´m Bóasdóttir (daugther of Bóas) and my brothers are Bóasson (son of Bóas). This is very interesting ;-)
Regards Gulla
Guðlaug Elísabet Bóasdóttir
