I don't know Jackson from a bar of soap, but from what I'm reading he<br>
seems like the sort of bloke who is going to 'pay it forward' numerous<br>
times.<br>
<br>
Further, it may well be argued that younger people are precisely the<br>
folks LA should consider financially supporting at the lower end of the<br>
'market' as they will 'show FLOSS off' around schools and also typically<br>
have low paying jobs (if any) until at least 18 if not 21 as well as<br>
some having edumacational fees to meet, etc.<br>
<br>
Dunno if Jackson is *that* young, but those are my feels.<br>
<br>
Pete.<br>
