First, the anecdote is great. I enjoyed reading it. But why did the professor thought you scanning a bill had much to do with networked multimedia?

  Good question - I guess at least I showed I could figure about for myself how GIF images work, and showed some initiative. I never asked the Professor if he actually had any other qualified applicants for the job - maybe I was the only one - but if so I'd rather not know.

  If someone is vaguely smart and has the right morals and virtues you will likely be better off with them than someone who doesn't but is otherwise more skilled at the moment.

  As a professor you're mostly working on trying to find funding, so being able to copy a 5 pound bill is a plus :)

    The real challenge is to see if you can extend the technique to higher denominations :)
