Can these actually be used in a game?

This reminds me of a hobby I've been meaning to start: Collecting autographs of a lot of these famous people in computing (bonus points if it's on an item they created/developed). Seems like it'd make for cool decor in any hacker's room/cubicle/space.

No, sorry, but if you want to write some rules for us to tweak the cards to fit, feel free!

I initially read that title as "Enraging" - which I thought sounded quite fun.

I have started getting books autographed at conferences.

Last autumn when I was visiting Apple I saw Steve Jobs in the dining place thingy. I had just bought a new iPhone earlier that week and I was SO close to going over and asking him to sign it.

I will likely forever regret that I didn't.
