umm, actually I'm speaking from a general perspective :) CFI needs power to run a mission-critical service. Umeme kWh cost has more than doubled in years. Power is not stable hence the need for a genset. Gasoline and Petrol costs have more than doubled in years. This has driven up property rental costs, wages and other needed support parameters (stationery, etc). _______________________________________________ The Uganda Linux User Group: http://linux.or.ug Send messages to this mailing list by addressing e-mails to: [email protected] Mailing list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Mailing list settings: http://kym.net/mailman/listinfo/lug To unsubscribe: http://kym.net/mailman/options/lug The Uganda LUG mailing list is generously hosted by INFOCOM: http://www.infocom.co.ug/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).
