LOL 44 million to 44 billion thats a pretty big mistake.
I remeber around 1995 i was reading the newspaper for stock prices (we had this thing for the "Stock Market Game") and i found an article about a japanese man who was selling some of his company's stocks. He was inteding to sell 500,000.00 but he didn't hit the decimal so it became 50,000,000. Lots of people bought it and someone ended up having 51% of the company, and then that buyer kicked him off the board of directors! So just by missing a keystroke he basically destroyed his life.
