Quote - Im from South Africa.... the exchange rate from Rand to USD is 7 to 1 on average... So a purchase costs me seven times the advertised price, and believe me the ratio is not relative... I dont earn seven times the salary of an American citized...try that on for size.... heh heh :)

Geez!  I'd have to take up a second job in order to feed my hobby, like oh..... bank robbery!  LOL

Exchange rates sure take their toll :(

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
