It's called retirement. I can use whatever language I like, and write anything
that comes to mind 24 hours a day if I want to.

D is a joy! It lets me fly and enjoy what I am doing, and do it quickly. 


me - 'Visual Basic'. But I would not consider using anything else now.

Walter, and all other contributors, including Andrei, despite his fixation on
ranges ;=), thank you so much.

Wrong. I have next to nothing in pension, so I solved the problem by marrying a
Tanzanian woman and moving to Africa, where the cost of living is lower.

Balls are still intact, which is good since my woman wants children too. I'll
learn the ranges stuff when I need it!

Cool!

I've read some of your blogs, looks quite fun. And now that the Net is 
even there, that's really a viable option. Congratulations!

Before the web, D wouldn't even have been possible as it relies on the 
collaberation of people all over the world.

Exactly, or you'll likely get redirected. I think my server is slightly
misconfigured and somewhere must mention a previous domain name.

We're not quite there yet. It took me two weeks to achieve a successful
download of D1.043.

But next year we should have a submarine fiber optic connection, and then
things could be different providing that the politicians don't just continue to
charge the same price and pocket the profits - this is Africa.

If the bandwidth/price really does improve, then East Africa is potentially a
big area for development. The English speakers here are easier to understand
that those in the call centers in India, and very very willing to do what it
takes to learn. Jobs here are like hens teeth!
