- Here's a good one. A few months ago, Bill Gates was on a prime time UK
- chat show, prattling away in his inimitable nasal whine about his Vast
- Wealth. He also had with him a Pen Windows prototype with a tablet and
- pen and proceeded to demonstrate to the awestruck audience how you could
- basically fill in a computerised form with it, and how his clever
- computer system recognised your handwriting and translated the characters
- from your untidy scrawl to one of its standard fonts.
-
- Well...almost.
-
- Gates filled in the form with his name and was a tad nonplussed to find
- that the form came back to him with the letters

- BILE GATIS
