Those are part of the Fusion kit. They most likely don't pertain to you even though they get installed with newer drivers.

Congrats to Mike and his new job.

I thought he was a little bit old for a change like this at first, but I suppose he's still got good innings.

If you work for the public sector in canada you usually get a full pension in 25 to 30 yrs.

So if you start working after University say at 25 you would be able to retire at 50 or 55.

If you work in the private sector in Canada you're beat, 65 used to be the retirement age, but they removed that law. Now it seems companies reduced pensions or cut them completely and let (make) people work till they die.
