Congrats to Mike and his new job.:ohwell:

Slightly OT:
What's the standard age for retirement in the US?
But seriously 55 is not that old. McCain was runninf for president when he was what, 100?
Vice president of IT for product development and engineering at HP for the last five years?? I dont know if thats a good thing or not? :ohwell: I cant stand HP.
So if you start working after University say at 25 you would be able to retire at 50 or 55.
If you work in the private sector in Canada you're beat, 65 used to be the retirement age, but they removed that law. Now it seems companies reduced pensions or cut them completely and let (make) people work till they die.
