Subject: You say po-tay-toe, I say po-tah-toe...

With all the new technology available today it's not that tough to make rip-off copies of things. A really good graphics-capable computer can crank out fairly good currency. And there are ways of producing credit cards. But even the best machinery can't correct spelling errors. And an error in spelling is what tripped up a man who tried to make fake credit cards. According to news reports in Vancouver, Wash., the man was sentenced to prison on nearly two-dozen counts of identify theft. What tipped off merchants and the police is that in making fake Platinum Mastercards, he spelled the word Plotinum.
