She won't find them she'll know where they are. 
I've only had this laptop less than a month and my wallpaper is half
obscured. Think what it will be like in a year? 
You think PSP and the cursor goes there itself :) (Pov starts
automatically, of course :)

Ah therefore unprofitable (unless you charge more) and a service that  
should be removed ;-)

Yeah, no it was a fairly wooshable statement. As everything's privatised  
now a train service with few passengers is most likely unprofitable  
therefore the company running it has three options - 1) Charge more. This  
covers the cost of running the train at the price of losing customers to  
whom the service is non-essential, therefore requiring you to charge more  
to the remaining customers until you're only left with those who *have* to  
use it being charged a small fortune. 2) Drop the service. Best option in  
that you now have a free train and driver to put on a more profitable  
route. 3) Get a subsidy from the government. Better option, you can still  
charge a near-exorbitant fee and 'make-up' your losses from the taxpayers.
