Nice postings, Jeff and Iain. Like I said in the previous post, electric
trains wouldn't make as much noise...diesel engines are another story.
And I think, if subway cars were constantly passing by underneath where
I was working, and I could see them out the window as they were passing,
I know I would be constantly distracted....no matter how long I had
worked there...
