Ian Fleming (creator of James Bond), in the 1957 introduction to the British edition of Herbert Yardley's classic book, The Education of a Poker Player, as quoted in Graham Sharpe, Poker's Strangest Hands:

    That Wingman hand calculator thing is mighty annoying, don't you think? Of course, it wouldn't be so bad if, at least, there were some AIR around it. You know -- white space? How's it work, anyway? Do they pay you a penny or two every time someone accidentally hits the Wingman box when they're trying to link to the Comments?
