Ron:
Your informant is correct. I retired effective last Tuesday. Kind of a strange feeling but I think I will get used to it

.
I spent close to 28 years doing research & development in the telecom industry.
My goal was to retire at 50 and I was able to hit it. I wanted to retire on my birthday but I missed it by a few months.
Now it is time to kick back and relax and pursue the fun stuff. Among other things, I have been wanting to make more enhancements to the online price guide. Now I will have time to do it.
I will also have more time to aggressively chase machines.
