Just did some research and I guess it wasn't hosting the Mac OS but
had uploaded a series of files to make linux look like the Mac
interface. I'm guessing since Mac apps are built to run on a unix
kernal, that they'd likely behave under linux but I've not
experimented.

That's the sort of thing that'll have to wait for retirement. Maybe
that'll be my lint.



Don't count on it. If you are like many, here's the phases of retirement
adjustments.

Phase I

Guilt. You wake up every morning at the same time as when you were
working 60-80 hrs a week and after performing the three "S"'so , you
realize you have nowhere to go. You start contacting your former
associates to make sure everything at the company is ok. As time goes on
and you realize the company is surviving fine without you, another sense
of guilt starts to creep in. What's your purpose now?

For me, this phase lasted the better part of 3 years.


Phase II

You start to relax a bit. The gain level of working and/or running your
business has been turned down considerably. You start to realize that
there's more to life than being consumed with a business that frankly was
turning into re-runs of past experiences. You start to become out of date
with respect to current technology and you really don't care. Your hair,
if you have any, gets longer.

Occasionally new business ideas enter your head but are quickly squashed
when you start thinking of all the start-up issues involved. You start
exploring and doing things that you never had time to do before.


Phase III

You discover the properties of clothes dryer lint.

Our big project last week was introducing our Springer Spaniel to the
threadmill.
Now when the weather is too bad to drive to the park... he will still get
his exercise. He's a bit reluctant, but is catching on pretty good.



What's a "threadmill"? Are you using you dog to make textiles?
