My current budget is somewhere near $0. Or less...

I'm an unemployed man who was released from an asylum over a
year ago hoping that either my current multi-million dollar
computer peripheral/lifestyle accessory project pans out
(gosh! Invent-Tech was SOOO enthusiastic that they did not
have time to discuss the financial aspects of their proposed
agreement!) or at least my lawyer gets the "third strike"
effort for social security disability approved. I eat
upwards of twenty (prescribed prescription) pills per 24
hours, and my day is so thoroughly unrelated to the normal
diurnal/nocturnal cycle that I refer to it as "nays and
dights."

I'm usually a little zonkered and thus forgetful as hell,
but I have successfully (eventually) taken a few simple
on-line tutorials  (e.g.,
http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_reference.asp and
http://www.sea.siemens.com/step/templates/lesson.mason?electricity:1:1:1),
so I know that I can learn concepts and facts. I've already
learned conversational German and Spanish (not on drugs),
and once spent dozens of hours of hours (on and off
drugs)trying to learn lojban. I'd like to try it, but even
$8 for me is a large consideration. Would I qualify as a
"scholarship student" for this gismu gizmo?

If my invention actually DOES make a gazillion bucks, I'll
pay it forward with interest, and meanwhile (having
dictionaries in many languages), I might actually be able to
do some jbovlaste work.

Thanks,
 Ken
