Yes, please post more about the orig Bower experiment, and maybe we can help. Also, you haven't said whether you tried the earlier poster's recommendation of typing 'Bower memory' into Google.

(I don't like to boast, but I have a BA(Hons), MSc and MBA all obtained by studying whilst working. Some of these are from VERY reputable institutions. So I'm a bit of a master of stripping volumes and libraries quickly to get at the information you actually NEED for an informed argument or dissertation. Grumpyoldgit is right: although you might take his comment as being a bit grumpy he's made an incredibly insightful comment - as a first year student one of the best things you can ever learn is how to 'gut' the research on the subject you are researching, extract the arguements, and contribute your own thoughts, research and knowledge on the subject You've made a brilliant start by coming here - this website is a source of ALL SORTS of knowledge! )
