I find as I get busier and busier with work I am a frustrated I don't get to do creative stuff as much as I would like (art, music, film, computer graphics). While I am hoping I get a lot of creative work done in the twenty years BEFORE I am eligible to retire, but I am also hoping to enjoy all the free time after retirement to go crazy playing with all the retro hardware I currently don't have time to fully explore (should I live that long - lets hope)! Maybe that's when I'll finally have time to play all the Infocom text adventures! Boy, the classic stuff will really seem old then if I still have it! I'm thinking that by then technology will be so far advanced there will be some perfect and cheap Amiga clone reproduction as well - heck maybe we will have some sort of replimat type or "physical printer" device where we can just materialize an Amiga clone from an open source design - just think about what has been accomplished in the past ten years in this regard....I remember in the 1990s we never thought that UAE would ever be useful, and things like FPGA clones were not even on my radar!
Digiman: although I'm sorry that your current health has forced you to retire before 40, I hope that you health now stays "on track" and lets you enjoy early retirement! Think of all the great fun things you can do every day!
