OK, I've not been that active on here, as I don't have a old Cat sitting under the 'ole gum tree here in South Africa.
This BB has been very informative for me and my 2 brothers as we grew up with the bark of Cats in our ears, and the smell of Cat diesels at full bore.
I have been retired since Dec 2018, and now on a fixed income, so I have to take care the cents big time. I'm enjoying all the information re Cats, the good will and banter on here.
As it stands with our local South African economy, and linked to a very costly for foreign currency exchange rate, I'm afraid I'll to call it a day, and do a shutdown.
At the current exchange rate, I'll have to substantiate investing something like just under ZA Rand 1000.00, which I just cannot justify under these conditions.
This is a sad for me, but I also DO understand that ACMOC needs to be able to cover costs to provide the service. I've been in IT for 35 years, and have seen just how quickly money disappears down the 'new technology' holes, and that it is necessary to be able to justify covering costs from users of a service.
Until such time as I'm not in 'lockdown' with ACMOC, I'll be looking in from time to time.
Regards from Cape Town, South Africa.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
