Oh man, i hate you university types. :-)
Where do you get all those funds from, anyway? :-)

Now i'd really like to see that equipment that you guys use. It makes me

Yeah, i definitely know. That's what i've heard from other sources as

But if the price quotes that i've seen are realistic, they're definitely
out of my league. One could buy a sportbike with those money. Or a
second-hand car.
