I have been retired for many years now and I get a great deal of
enjoyment out of taking and processing images. I admit to using a colour
printer from time to time with a bit of commercial software to help with
the process otherwise it's Gimp, UFRaw and, recently, F-Spot.

Enjoy your retirement, keep busy and happy snapping.
