Good luck to William.

I have another perspective though; I knew Allan Steel (Magma guy) as an undergrad at Sydney University. He is an extraordinarily smart person and humble and genial as well.

Everyone should be thankful to him and the University of Sydney for having the wisdom to fund the development of Magma.

Allan Steel is awesome!! I really like him and have learned so much from him -- it's one reason I put his picture up for Magma in that slide. (I think you might be overestimating the extent to which U Sydney funds development of Magma.)

Quite possibly! Just after this I had a read of the Wikipedia page of Magma and it says that it is funded on a cost recovery basis only.
