          If the retirement age is still at 65, I'm amazed (if not
impressed) that you have run into so many sites where the 3k folks are going
to retire in the next five years.   Wow!!

          Most of the hp folks I know are in the mid to upper 40's (a few
low 50's), of course, maybe the folks you know, if not at 60 years old, have
done so well, they can retire very early?
