>>A good solution would be to eliminate the Market Makers and have the computer match buyers and sellers.<<

The Market Makers act as buffers buying and selling stocks from their own account when there are no buyers and sellers respectively for a stock providing a stable market. If it were just crossing buyers and sellers MM's job would have been long automated.
