" Well, you could go maglev and have *no* _rolling_ friction (and very
" low train<->support friction, lower even than steel wheel on steel
" rail).  (Of course, maglev has other problems.  But reducing friction
" is one thing it does spectacularly well.)

true, and i should've remembered it - henry kolm was a good friend of
my dad's, and my mom still gets christmas cards from him and his wife.
