I grew UP on a hill in Will County. I had to walk up a 2nd hill to get to my elementary school, and I had a MUCKING GREAT BIG hill to go up on my trip home from high school. You want flat? Go to Champaign. I once pushed a wheelchair all the way from the outskirts of Urbana to the other end of Champaign, and I didn't have to go uphill once. THAT'S FLAT. (Gloss: Will County is near Chicago, IL). Anyone from Naperville care to slander their favorite piece of Illinois real estate? When I was in high school, people used to graduate and move to Naperville because it was a sleepy little farm town and cheap to live in. Now they've all moved back to Joliet, because Bell Labs moved in and ruined property values (from their standpoint). -- "Everything you know is wrong." from the Illuminatus Trilogy Rick Keir -- MicroComputer Information Center, MACC {allegra, ihnp4, seismo}!uwvax!uwmacc!rick 1210 West Dayton St/U Wisconsin Madison/Mad WI 53706
