    Roger Waters contribution to the Pink Floyd saga

    For me Roger Waters is a love-hate thing. DSOTM, of course - but I find myself listening more to Wish You Were Here, Animals, Ummagumma and Piper at the Gates ...

    What are you reading?

    Karoo by Lawrence G. Green (1955). Not easy to get, second-hand bookshops. Easy-reading history and descriptions of the great and small Karoo in the 1950s. Great read. The Art of Patience: Seeking the Snow Leopard in Tibet by Sylvain Tesson. And the documentary (The Velvet Queen) and soundtrack...

    Device Brokers - Robertson

    Thanks all for the advice and recommendations, very much appreciated. I haven't yet been scammed and intend keeping it that way (buying stuff that you later regret is another story of course). @resham, I have been looking around for a Fuji X100V (rare as hen's teeth) for a while now, and came...

    Device Brokers - Robertson

    Thanks @Drifter for this info. I found the item on Junk Mail and it was listed as being in Ennerdale, Gauteng and being sold by an individual. The seller's phone did not work. I then received an email this morning from a 'sales rep' from Device Brokers in reply to my Junk Mail enquiry, which...

    Device Brokers - Robertson

    Thanks David. They do have a website with plenty electronic products apparently available, but I am wary and will not pull the trigger unless I can confirm they are totally legit. If they are, I suspect they are agents for individuals from all over SA wanting to sell stuff. Apologies, this...

    Device Brokers - Robertson

    Good day all. Has anyone had any dealings with a company called Device Brokers? According to their website, they are located in Robertson, Western Cape. I am interested in a photography item on their site but cannot find any information on them apart from their website. Appreciate your feedback...

    Water cost for filling swimming pool

    In the same boat, so to speak. Need to drain my fiber-glass pool for repainting, which I'll do this coming winter. Are the temporary water storage tanks/bladders - rent or purchase - the way to go? Where I live in the eastern Free State, water is cheap, but dumping so much water in the veld...

    An inexpensive way to improve the erm... sound

    "African" look? Nope. This could be a design influenced by countless "indigenous ideas" from across the world, or maybe not. BTW, I like it.

    The King Has Returned.

    Welcome back. Here's hoping it is Charles Bukowski and not King Charles II who is back ;)

    How many of you like the sound system in your car?

    To be honest, I use whatever money I have available on my home system, and I haven't spend anything on our car systems in many years. Listing to music on my setup at home, with no distractions at all, is the bliss I aim for. But this post got me thinking again ... nothing like taking the open...

    Best free player for FLAC files

    Aimp, Foobar and thanks to @kinosfronimos now also trying Strawberry again - stopped using it a few years ago when developments on the site seem to stop, but they are now very much active again.
