- To James, cheers, John Travolta
Can a signature machine be programmed to create personized signatures? I mean John Travolta can write lots of common names and store the writings in a computer. He can then hire one assistant to read and reply the fan letters each with a personalized signature.
Maybe Mr. Travolta can sign his name a dozen times and let the machine do all the variations. Maybe the machine can sign randomnized signatures (variations in pen direction, speed and force). -- Toytoy 09:44, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Forge?
I'm bothered by the word "forge" in this article. With respect to signatures, generally it means commiting fraud or counterfeiting. However, if it's being done with the consent—and perhaps under the supervision—of the signer, surely no such meaning is appropriate. Or could forge be intended to mean to form or bring into being especially by an expenditure of effort? In that case, perhaps another word should be substituted. —EncMstr 03:39, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
- I agree. It seems like the person who originally wrote this article had been burnt buying an autograph as genuine and finding it had been autopenned. This sort of point of view has no place in wikipedia. I've done some more research into the topic and NPOV'ed the article some more. Theducks 22:59, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Full-page models?
Are there autopen models that can write a full page of text? It seems like the market only covers signatures and short notes. Ideally, the pen would double as the input for storing (as an editable computer file) the piece to be written, then it could be reproduced from that.
