Is that something you can *really* retire from? Or are you doing the  
same thing you've always done, only now without bosses and schedules  
to distract you? :-)

Yes, ShuX was the first CamelBones app. When I switched to Mac OS X,  
I found that a couple of years of using MacPerl and Shuck had  
thoroughly spoiled me for readable docs. I simply could not stand  
going back to reading them in fixed-pitch Monaco again. I had a  
little sign over my monitor for a while that said "Times or Bust." :-)

Funny thing is, I like Monaco for command-line work, and for editing  
text in BBEdit. It's only for reading docs that it really bothers my  
eyes.

Have you seen the new Norton motorcycles? The Commando is *sweet*! :-)
