I am formally declaring my retirement from this game of prrograming.. I can no longer perform the moves that entitle one to make a living in this game. Therefore I am returning to my original passion, writing screenplays. I wrote 35 and sold one it got made, and most of that time I made my living bartending, but then I discovered computers and programming and wrote some books about the same, but now I'm done with this profession, and I my focus is in the history of Chinese people in Canada. Of course it begins with the immigrants invited to build our railroads for peanuts and then forbidden to invite their wives (actually, they had to pay $500 immigration tax; if you want to know how money that is is modern terms, Google can help you; just type in "500 CDN dollars 1890" and you will see what a shocking value this was. My research has also uncovered a copy of a splendid (I don't know another word for it) poster from the election in Kamloops, BC, by the Liberal party, warning of the Yellow Peril. This is why I have to stop writing software and doing something important. I'll still attend this salon but my mind is currently on bigger issues. -- Arthur Cell: 647.710.1314 Prediction is difficult, especially of the future. -- Niels Bohr
