At 28 I was awarded the Windows XP diploma, for how I handled my little finger.

It was during the farewell dinner-party at the end of my pediatrics residency. The touch of humor was provided by several sketches and awards for the honorees. Since the very beginning of my resindency, I had made a point of typing all my reports and not handwriting any of them or dictating them into a tape recorder.

I typed much faster than any colleague would handwrite... and in a more legible way!
