"Amtrak said on Wednesday it would need up to $10 billion in federal 
subsidies over the next five years to run its network of trains and 
repair its crumbling infrastructure."  Having spent much time and 
effort listening and trying to keep a distance from this endangered 
creature I thought I would share it.  Maybe this will help us avoid 
the highspeed trains that the birds don't have a chance of 
outflying.  My GPS recorded the highspeed train in Spain this month 
at a max of 170 mph.

Recorded without the use of playback and from a safe 1 mile distance 
to not effect its behavior as it worked its way up the Mississippi 
river valley in MN. latenight 8/02.

Pro Tools Free from Digidesign runs on both platforms.  Not exactly a 
simple application, but obviously one doesn't need to know how to use 
all its features in order to do the tasks you mention.
