Everything costs a bomb of late, ZAR has met it's fate, spare parts not arriving, new stock exceptionally expensive too. Sometimes better to buy a new cheaper rig than repair... Hope you have a friendly tech guy to assist.

And to beat it all, we now have another interest rate hike. The 10th one in a row. You are right as I am shopping around for a new rig. Must have an SSD card, as the old hard drives are on the way out.
By grace I do have a great tech guy.

Eventually you cannot squeeze water from the stone!

Most are below earning sufficient to pay for food let alone accommodation, people who bought homes or vehicles are going to battle. Say goodbye to the middle class structure.

Having a good tech guy to give guidance always makes decision easier.

The stone is now starting to calcify and it will fall apart soon.

Yep! The poor faces severe struggles, especially those with many kids to feed. Now the middle class are indeed dissolving just the same as that stone.

The tech kids nowadays are way ahead of us old fogies and it's good to have one of them around.
