Well i can understand the feelings. Back about 1979/80 I was in school,
the Midget was purchased on My SU's funds (but that's another story, I
have related). My parents, whom were helping on financing tuition,
suggested (strongly) that we sell the Midget to help pay the living
expenses. The SU declined. I agreed. We struggled for living expenses,
not easy with a kindergartener in the house. But we made it. Which end is
up can be a matter of choice, or survival.
