    No, I'm not leaving here - I'm retiring today :cool: I've been programming since 1967 (high school), and it's time.

      Congratulations. Based on the feedback I keep getting, you should now expect to get a lot busier - not less.

                                  Perhaps now you'll have time to learn a new language, such as C.

                                        Conga-rats!! I wish you the best of luck in retirement!

                                        As for me, and I am within a year or two of you, I doubt I will ever retire. One of my hobbies is playing with programming languages. Here, I am getting paid for my hobby! I haven't worked a day in years!

                                        My other job is ranching. Yes, I know, it sounds crazy, but I really enjoy it, even though it means caring for my herd and the guard dogs first thing in the morning (4:30 AM) and last thing at night (10:30 PM).
