   Diffr'nt strokes for different folks. I can travel from Springfield, IL   
   to Chicage in about 3 1/2 hours on the train. And I'm right in the middle   
   of Chicago when I arrive. If I fly I have to arrange a ride to the aero-   
   drome or leave my car in long-term parking. Thwn when I arrive in Chicago    
   (Midway, O'Hare or Meigs) I either have to take a cab or airport 'limo"   
   to a Hotel. or rent a car.  IOW about the same or more time and *much*   
   more hassle.
