An easy mistake to make...

Microsoft's Steve Ballmer got a huge amount of publicity (including in this parish) when he claimed both he and Bill Gates got four million pieces of spam a day.

Seems Steve was a bit confused. It's actually four million a year. An easy mistake to make.

Anyway, Ballmer cleared up the matter a few days later when the hoo-hah had died down. But Log On still likes the cartoon over at Joy of Tech which explains the mess.
