  seems like each time i [re] read it, much of it is applicable to today's computing environment as well (replacing the languages and technologies of his speech with those of today). i guess that's part of why it's a "classic".

  Funny that despite so many postings, it brought up almost no discussion at any point.

    well, this should probably be reposted periodically anyways. It's like Steve Jobs' Stanford 2005 commencement speech - regardless of your opinion of Jobs it's one of those things you should read/watch periodically. Many documents we should reread periodically in order to enforce the values contained therein. (If you're a religious person it's like how you read the bible often even though you've seen it all before)
