Yeah, I figured if there were any author who wouldn't mind signing an ebook, it was him. :-)
It would be personal, no matter what... But the fact that I could then cut and paste his signature into all the Doctorow books I own plus, say, The Lord of the Rings seems to devalue the concept of the author signature. It's fallen prey to the lack of scarcity inherent in the digital world.
