At the end of the day you do what you have to remain current and hopefully remain sane and (more importantly) alive. Pleased to hear you've managed to move on Mr Geezer. I know there are several 146 boys still in some less desireable parts of the world doing as best they can to keep currrent. You're right the majority of western hemisphere companies are getting rid of the 146/RJ, with increasing numbers turning up in Africa, South America and the Far East with even more in storage. A good time to change type..... if you can.
