Dominic,

They could hardly tell the truth, that research
students are expected to use equipment that is
a decade old. Of course, most overseas students
only find this out once they arrive and after
the University has collected their fees.

Also, as we know you can't trust anything on the
Web these days, there are a lot of sharks out
there.

Jonathan.
