reminded me of this story (which came at a much later date):
> A senior NASDAQ official saw Peterffy's setup and said Peterffy was breaking the rules: All orders had to be entered through the keyboard. He gave Petterfy's group one week to fix the problem.
> Peterffy and his engineers came up with a solution. They built a robot with rubber fingers that typed entries into the keyboard.
On a side note, I wish private schools (specifically like SAC, UCC, Crescent and others) would start showing the importance of programming at a young age.
"If you do things that make people happy, you will find a way to your own happiness."
While this has been true, in my limited experience, it can be a slippery slope. The, possibly unintended, message I got from the post is more along the lines of "Do things that you enjoy. You'll probably bump into a few people who enjoy the things you've done, which will make you even happier doing them."

Edit: It's a side note to the posted story, but it's interesting to me that we replace technical limitations with policy limitations.
