    Thank you and Goodbye

    st will be a start of a new lifestyle as I will be able to spend more time looking after my long suffering wife, Julie and be able to take a short fat dog for more walks then he really wants to do.
    Cheers and goodbye, Phil.

      Best of luck with your "new life". Enjoy it, you've earned it!

      You sound very much like me. I'm right behind you! My path was a little different as I have my own business for last 20 years. Been in the business since the liquid days, over 40 yrs! Hoping to sell business and retire in a few more yrs.

      Take care and check in every now and then.

        Like money, the technology business never sleeps.

        I am glad you were able to leave on your own terms.

        You will need to find a good hobby to keep your skilled hands busy!

          Retiring doesn't mean you have to give up CTN; I've been retired from work for 3.5 years, but I still check in for the "popcorn" threads. I believe you will enjoy your time off, I hope your wife will also enjoy your time off😉

                Enjoy your retirement, you've earned it. Hoping you and Mrs. Lagonda have a wonderful retirement.

                Like ZOOTECH I have been retired for close to 3 years but still come to CTN on a daily basis as there are still older machines out there that I know and younger techs that need help with them.

                    Best of Luck to you and your wife. Check in every now and then because I have always wondered what retired copier techs do after retirement.

                      Good Luck in your future endeavors!
                      Like others have mentioned, there are a few of us here that have made your move also, but we continue to support CTN and the users.

                      What ever road you travel, may the pavement be smooth and free of potholes, and a dry surface to keep you shiny side up and your greasy side down and out of the ditches!

                      Good Luck Sir.

                          Phil,

                          Please swing back through from time to time with vacation photos and what-not. Some of us would like the opportunity to live vicariously through you!!

                          LOL!!!

                          Godspeed!

                          Steve

                            Congratulations on crossing the finishing line mostly unscathed. I think the thing I would enjoy most is getting a few more hours sleep. And perhaps get back to my woodworking.

                            Stay in touch. =^..^=
                            If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
                            1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
                            2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
                            3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
                            4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
                            5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

                              Yep, I'll agree with that, now onto my second Mazda 6 and Julie still drives a 30 year old Mazda MX6
