I am a part-time grad student [somewhat] working on my thesis, while not at my full time job. As I am a THESIS student, I get to claim my $50 per month (ie $600) from my Net income even thought I am only part-time! Please correct me if i'm wrong Dave. -- humbly yours, Lance Bailey UWO, Dept. of Comp.
