I think I put it in the original post... I'm gonna opt for whatever I can fix/rebuild/come across next to free.

While I've certainly been out looking for a job that pays something close to worthwhile, I've not actually found one yet, so funding comes from whatever I can scrape together for a project that hasn't already been promised to another one.

It's a bad way to start a project, but I've been managing.

Thanks for the offer, though. I might take you up on it.
