That's it exactly. (kind of like the saying about computers that goes...
resign yourself that as soon as you have bought, what you bought is obsolete!)

Yes, I see what you mean. Maybe "fanatic" isn't quite the right term, but
what I was driving at was not the people who really wanted a metroliner and
couldn't afford it, but rather the broadening to people who would say "hmm,
I don't really like trains but now I can check this metroliner thing out.
Before I would have bought 400 dollars worth of starwars sets (600 CDN) but
now heck, why not, I'll give it a whirl because all I am giving up is 200
CDN to get it instead of 600"
From THOSE people sometimes come future train fanatics. Hmm... Metroliner as
a gateway drug! Cool. <Grin>
