smoke coming out of it. The

　　inventing finally

　　completed, test

　　runs

　　were made in Ottawa, and the LongPen was officially launched at the

　　2006 London Book Fair. From here, Atwood conducted two

　　transatlantic book signings of her latest book for fans in Toronto and

　　New York City.

　　The LongPen produces a unique signature each time because it

　　copies the movement of the author in real time. It has several other

　　potential applications. It could increase credit card security and allow

　　people to sign contracts from another province. The video exchange

　　between signer and receiver can be recorded on DVD for proof when

　　legal documents are used.

　　“It's really fun，” said the owner of a bookstore, who was present

　　for one of the test runs. “Obviously you can't shake hands with the

　　author, but there are chances for a connection that you don't get from

　　a regular book signing.”

　　The response to the invention hasn't been all favorable. Atwood

　　has received criticism from authors who think she's trying to end book

　　tours. But she said, “It will be possible to go to places that you never

　　got sent to before because the publishers couldn't afford it.”
