rs> indeed. theres another thing that needs changing then. That will be an interesting trick. Many kinds of business only work well (or work more efficiently) in high population densities. Farming is not one of those things. Trains are great for hauling stuff from point A to point B, but they really suck at negotiating all of those twisty little streets in the city. Trucks are the most efficient way of getting stuff into the shops. At least until they bring back and expand the old pneumatic tube system. Which would be a lot more fun to watch. -- mike
