Scumbria, sometimes I just have to bend over and slap my knee over your posts. ;-) Rambus has proposed a high bandwidth bus solution for the Grand Canyon, but the problem is that it is very expensive, and it takes a long time for the first bus to arrive. Tony

Scumbria, Rambus has proposed a high bandwidth bus solution for the Grand Canyon, but the problem is that it is very expensive, and it takes a long time for the first bus to arrive. Hmm, I wonder if Rambus will claim IP rights over Grand Canyon. Theoretically, Grand canyon a high bandwidth bus for water. Joe

Scumbria, And then sometimes the bus is rammed from behind, there's a lawsuit and the bandwith dies the same day the music died. ted

Dear Scumbria: Up beyond the UP of Michigan there are two railroads that share the same track from Sau Saint Marie to Agawa Canyon in Ontario. One is a private enterprise operation run by Wisconsin Central and the other is run by the Canadian National Railway (government run of course). The CNR trains are dirty, unkept, do not stick to schedule, and are generally unpleasant to ride. They are also more expensive. The WC trains are bright, well kept, have all the amenities, are run on time, and are quite enjoyable to use (I speak with personal experience with both RRs). I would take Amtrak (by far) over CNR any day. CNR is run like the USSR would run it. It probably will not exist as well in the future too. There are very good reasons to stop this lowest bidder contract awarding process (and falacy). Sometimes, a slightly higher bid is much better in the long term (for everyone). Pete
