How did Rettig's career as a motivational speaker lead him to go into the software industry? --User:Jenmoa 03:55, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

While working on a mailing list for his motivational speaking, he became involved in database computer programming, and it went from there. This was around 1979 or 1980 when database stuff was still hard to work with, and years before MS windows came along. Vaoverland 05:02, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC)
