Retirement

I'm Retired (but still here)...

I've been programming for the Macintosh for what seems like forever. The Macintosh was first released in 1984, and a year later in 1985, I released the first versions of what would become two of my favorite games (Brickles Pro and Hangman Pro). Would you believe it...these games are now about 40 years old! Later on, I would program dozens of other games, font utilities, printer utilities, desk accessories, financial and accounting programs and more. Those first two games are actually still available today. They're still the admittedly crude decades-old games that they always were, but I've continued to make them at least functional and playable with the latest Macs and Mac OS's. You can learn about them HERE.

TinyBooks Pro, my simple accounting program, is now also 20+ years old. Only the very latest version of TinyBooks Pro, known as Version 10, works on the latest Macs and Mac OS's. If you're still using an older version of TinyBooks or TinyBooks Pro, you will surely require the latest version when you upgrade your Mac or your Mac OS. You can read about TinyBooks Pro version 10 HERE, and you can purchase a registration for it HERE.

What I am most grateful for, over so many decades, are your kind comments, both about my games and about TinyBooks Pro. Click HERE to see the emailed comments I've received on all of my programs over the years. These comments have meant more to me than you can know. Your comments have made me want to continue programming forever!

But, with that said, now in my early 70's, I consider myself a retired programmer. My web site is still active, registrations for TinyBooks Pro can still be purchased as usual, and I'm still here and always happy to answer any questions you might have about any of my programs. I see no reason why the latest version of TinyBooks Pro cannot be used for years and years to come. I'm also open to the possibility of working with another company to continue development of the program. I'm obviously open to reasonable offers of all kinds.

For now, I'd like to end this retirement announcement by saying THANK YOU to all of my loyal customers. I've communicated personally with so many of you over the years, and you've supported my work over those same years, decades actually. I am very appreciative of your kind words and your support and wish you all the very best.
