Good point. I opted to be a good developer and said "because of 
health, family matters and crashing in part of the development 
environment I was trying to learn, I can not finish this project and 
opt to return your money."  I do not want any grief with any of my 
clients and try to hold up my obligations.  I've got enough stress 
now and didn't want to feel guilty over mishandling a project that I 
solely held responsibility for completing.
