Just asking as I'm above the 45k in my current job but this is somthing that really intrigues me but the financial side is holding me back a bit.

The IR-LDSJT was handy enough doing the right thing and common sense. The mini Scaat I'm assuming it's impossible to finish the who page, or at least I didn't? Also I'm guessing it submits automatically when I finish all 3?
