May 1 is the 27th anniversary of upFront.eZine, and at over one thousand issues, it the longest running newsletter in the history of CAD. This fall, it comes to a close.
There is a time, I have found among people of my gray-haired age, when you realize, “I just don’t want to do this anymore.” I’ve been semi-retired for a year now, and so decided to end the newsletter on the 37th anniversary of me getting into the CAD writing biz — mid-September, 1985.
