It isn't a captive market, competition from the ferries should keep it down. A return ferry ticket is about €50. While you could charge a premium for business class seats, they alone won't fill a train. The Eurostar London-Paris service is a reasonable comparison. Booking in advance, you can usually get a return ticket for that for £100 in off-peak hours. The Dover-Calais ferry is cheaper, but way more inconvenient.

or you could fly there for 45 pounds ...

If you are a Windows Administrator who happens to get dumped with the odd Linux server. Xnote may seem like a good option for a text editor. Not as scary sounding things like.
vi/vim (Ok you got in... Now why can't I type!, or vi short for Virus Infestation)
emacs (This sounds like a Macintosh emulator to me)
nano (Disk Compression tool?)

Windows Admins are use to Notepad being the default text editor. XNote may be a good pick to choose.

There is always Midnight Commander editor (mcedit) for such idiots like me (hate vi, will never touch emacs).

Well, about 3 years ago I went from a 10 year old 3.4 GHz machine to a new 3.4 GHz machine and the difference was quite obvious. The new one was about 10 times faster, of course it also had double the cores.

1) can I borrow your time machine? Pentium 4 3.4GHz (paper mhz due to shitty arch) was released in 2004, 11 years ago, not 13.

2) 10 years = 55million versus 1.4Billion transistors
