With my retirement later this year, I've been thinking about the most meaningful projects I've worked on.

Top of my list is the work I did for the 1984 Olympic games held in Los Angeles. I was working on the operating system of the IBM S/38 back then. IBM was a corporate sponsor of the Olympics. My task was to make some modifications to the operating system so we could print a special bar code that we were not making generally available. This was printed (by a dot-matrix printer) onto the employee and athlete badges. The badge had a dark red square where the black bar code was printed -- so even though it was machine readable it was not easy to read with one's eyes.

I felt a lot of responsibility as a 25 year old. Of course the application worked well and there were no security problems. It's a special memory.

Best wishes everyone - Craig
