Dear Everybody: The most wonderful thing you can ever give somebody is your time. No matter who you are, no matter how much money you make, most people have roughly the same amount of time. In this sense we're all equal. So yes, some of us could off and spend enormous amounts of money on each other for gifts...but if I spend a week building something, and Bill Gates spends a week building something, the gift is the same temporal size. It's like saying "Yes, I could do anything at all with this week of time, but I decided that that week of time would be best spent building something that will make you happy." There's something that I find profoundly beautiful about that. This is an absolutely fantastic gift. She should be really proud of herself for learning that quickly, and I'm sure he's over the moon about this as a gift.
