A hobby is something that you may eventually derive some income from,
but it's not what you live on. Someone who quit work and is working on
a software program full time sounds like a retired hobbyist to me.

How times have changed. In the early '80s he was called an
entrepenuer.

But in the early '80s, if he didn't finish a project within a
reasonable amount of time (like however long it took for his cash
reserves to run out) to the point where it was saleable, he'd get a
job.

That's what I'm attempting and I would seriously object to
being called a retired hobbyist.

I know what you've been writing about and it sure sounds useful. We're
waiting to see your product, hopefully before you starve. g
