    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). (My wife cares for them during the day.) It is sooo peaceful with my nearest neighbors being one tenth of a mile away - I could never go back to urban or suburban living.

                                      Have you heard of how the rancher's retirement party opens? The minister, in a very somber tone, begins with: "Dearly beloved, we are gathered today the celebrate the life of ..."

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

                                          'PLAN' is NOT one of those four-letter words.
