Hello people, Who knows someone who could do a science-like animation, say for combustion? You'd want to see oxygen, cardon dioxide, fire, smoke and all that stuff in the simulation. Who has an idea how much this would cost? -- Samuel Waithaka http://twitter.com/samwaithaka

Generally, I am looking for recommendations of schools and expected tuition as this can vary. Thanks.

True that keep off safaricom hosting . I have had a million issues and at some point I had to get a lawyer write to them after my domain remained off for 2 months .
