Take Me In Your Arms, Rock Me Rock Me A Little While

Is it strage that I find myself getting overly excited when I see that the subway which is going to take me to or from Astoria is going to be one of the MTA's new R-160 Subway trains?  So excited that every time I see the train I shout out "YES!" or "Alright!".  I am serious about that.  I got to ride it this morning, and I said "Alright!".  It's not even that comfortable, at least not any more then the other models of subway trains we have roaming around this city.  I think it's the digital displays.  I like the station to station digital display they have that counts down the amount of stops until which ever one you need to go to, and leaves out the stops that it doesn't make (unlike the displays on the 4,5,6 lines which is just a yellow light on a board).  They also have th digital clock and the digital voice the same as the 4,5,6 lines, and they also have a little digital advertising screen, which right now is only occupied by MTA advertisements, but I am sure will eventually have something more entertaining, like something about gross foot surgery or learning english.

What was the point of this?
