Nope, there will be no source code anywhere in my thesis, including the appendix.
My supervisors wouldn't even bother to look at the code (they don't program in the same language) and I don't see the examiner ever needing it. However it might be different for your field. I would avoid putting it in the appendix, it just seems a waste of space. If your supervisor recommends, then definitely burn it onto a CD and make sure it's available for the examiner.
What has your supervisor said? Have you looked at any thesis done by people who used to be in your group?
I have tonnes of code but none of it will be going in to my thesis. I don't see any reason why the examiner would want to look at it (I think my thesis would be at least 4 times the length if I included it). You will have said how your programs/algorithms work using some other method, pseudocode, flowcharts etc so there is no need to look at the code.
I think it's very possible to be self-funded and do very well. For example, make sure you have a well known supervisor, gain some good publications etc.
Some areas, probably like yours, there is very limited funding anyway and it's probably not such a big issue.
I agree about the Office 2007 .docx documents, thats probably what you meant.
Vista is rubbish though so really stick to XP.
The other thing I recommend is to go through quidco.com and buy from a website they offer cashback for.
If you are spending over a grand and the cashback is 5% (for example), that's at least £50 back in your pocket :-x
