Graham, Mate where can I start, THIS IS NO HOAX, the customer is paying, 
the investors are onboard. David Lawrence is actually a respected Dr in 
the area of Neurophysiology (ie the workings of the brain)

The money will be available when I get to Level 5 (right now I am doing 
the Level 3 work which is implimenting the system on a PC with only 1 
user, Level 4 is a server based system with maybe 100 users all within 
one organisation, Level 5 is 1000's of users across many organisations)

Regards,

Kat.
