By Bill Martin

Bill Martin spent his entire career in the computer business, starting with IBM before the dawn of the computer and culminating as a grizzled computer veteran among bright young techies. He directed the launch of a barcode-based software product in the emerging and exciting new- tech world – the inspiration of the Work Ethics piece in this magazine.

For the past twelve years he has volunteered each Wednesday for Habitat for Humanity as a "Habaholic,” one of a group of similarly-driven retirees who sport their own tee-shirts and build houses in Lake County, Illinois. His e-mail address: Bill Martin
