Ok. So how are you going to get rich from someone with a lot acceptance
of new technology?

Your client's budget is always an issue if you're going to get rich
from them. If they've got the same budget as before, or possibly even a
smaller one, and you couldn't get rich before, how do you get rich now?

My thought on the matter is: if you can bring in something great and
blow away your competitors, traders may well take you up on it. Back-end
folks won't.

Why will trading groups take you up on it? Because they need to move
fast to survive. Why won't back-end groups do so? Because they can
afford to move more slowly and be more conservative, without any great
loss.
