Frankly you were into this well before I was born.
So... Mukund, how old (young) are you? 
I hope you are NOT a child-labour of LV.

So, when are you getting retirement from the field?
Or have you planned for one at least...
Please forgive me if this offends you as per US culture.
As per Indian culture, early retirement is the fashion nowadays.
That is such a good question I ask my wife regularly the same thing. Prior to the market crashing last year, I was starting a retirement count-down from seven years. Although we did get out of the market just before the crash, financial questions are so up-in-the-air that my wife and I have decided to stay in "nose to the grindstone" mode because we see signs that the US is going to be experiencing a period of hyper-infation that will effectively render all of our savings worthless. So...
The date of my retirement will be determined by the magnitude of the US deficit. If it grows, I may never retire. If they get it under control, maybe.
But even if I do retire, I have asked the wife to budget for a LV license, so I can still code and post after I retire.

Frankly speaking Ben, this was the exact thing I wanted to ask you directly, which I think I asked you subtly.
Instead of troubling your wife, you should ask NI to give you a life-time free license for all their future versions.

Have you been reading my email?
I have been asking NI to provide a Life-Time User License to all of the LabVIEW Champions since about March of 2005.
The LabVIEW Champions Keepers have alway agreed but none of them have ever been succesful in getting it settled. It seems there is trouble trying to put a $value on what the Champions and the Zealots do for LV and the LV community. At one time, years ago, Chily Charlie tried to organize a "strike" by the gold bar contributors so that our presense could be felt ( or the lack there of). I think it lasted about a day and Dennis' post count doulbed* that day.

* Dennis being all buisness did not read the thread about the strike.

I think I cant read your email. [I understand what you mean].
Ben, I didnt have the habit of reading your people's old threads (like the post Altenbach mentioned in his reply in my PEV thread). Off late only, I ve tagging important things... so, will try to keep me updated as much as I can.
