I would, but I'm a starving college student developing educational hardware and software, if you'd asked me a month earlier or month later I'd probably have had the cash to help out.
no problem paul, we will get there
... hey you're not planning to do what one guy i heard about at imperial college did, are you? he got his university grant in (this was 1987), paid his accommodation, then bought the best hi-fi stereo he could get, with the rest. with the small change he went down to a local farmer's market, bought several huge bags of oats, emptied the drawers in his room, lined them with newspaper and poured in the oats. anyway, a few months later the hospital said that he was the first case of scurvy they had seen in decades :)
I heard that one as being about a Manchester student, so either I told you that story and its morphed into an IC student since, or (perhaps more likely) it's an urban legend.
Cheers, Phil.
