:-) One time I rode the Eurostar there was track maintenance being performed so the train was virtually crawling at 80km/h or so at one point. The funny thing was that the carriages still banked on curves as though it was hurtling along at 300km/h, very disconcerting. -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
