You can't be serious. I don't know what I'd call myself - maybe an alt-moderate libertarian democratic-socialist somewhat to the left of Bernie on most issues, but this ruling REALLY pisses me off. PLEASE - contact officers of respective companies. You can get email addresses and some phone numbers at rocketreach. I'd suggest starting with just one from each company, though. You only get a few free searches. After that it's something like 49.95/month.

Penta - 5 - pentagram...

Don't ANY of you people know about werewolves?!? This is indeed a frightening development.

What Apple REALLY does not want you to know however, is that all their evil intentions can be thwarted by those north of the equator by whirling around in a counterclockwise motion and chanting "maria ouspenskaya" over and over again until they pass out. SOUTH of the equator you must spin in a clockwise motion. This is VERY important. You do not want to know the consequences of going the wrong direction. If you live near the equator, you must travel AT LEAST ten miles to the north or south before you do this. Personally, I would not go less than 50. And again, be VERY, VERY careful that you have the direction right!

I would not recommend my method, but here's what I did (keep in mind that "Life is what happens while we're busy making plans." - unk.):

I got old. As soon as I was eligible to begin receiving benefits from one (relatively meager though not bad considering all company contributions and only 11 years with the company) retirement plan I did it. Once I became eligible for SS I took it. Several years before that (around my 54th or 55th birthday), I went back to my first love: music. I continued my independent IT consultant career, started playing my guitar again, got in some bands, and realized that this is what I should have been doing all along -

RULE #1 - follow your muse

RULE #2 - figure out a way to make money doing it

RULE #3 - pay your bills and be fair to everyone.

RULE #4 - keep following rules 1-3 until they nail the lid shut.
