Soul of a new machine

What really runs this world is the passion of a few men. As in most professions, it is the creative urge which drives every good engineer. Wallach architects many machines which do not end up going to the market. He is on the verge of becoming a cynic when he gets prodded on to create a 32-bit version of an existing machine. Tracy Kidder describes the story of the hard work and the passion that goes into building this new machine.

Interesting Read.
