It's a good read. In short: a 14 year old wiz kid, V.A. Shiva Ayyadurai,
crafts (fortran from the image snippet) code to replicate inter-office mail

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you gain
at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his own tail.
It won't fatten the dog.
- Speech 11/23/1900 Mark Twain
