Heh, I wouldn't know about traffic out there. I stayed in my little part 
of the world and only ventured out after rush hour. :) I had a nice 2-3 
mile surface street commute to the Earthlink office in Pasadena, so I 
never had to go near the freeways during rush hour.

Out here, I live only a couple miles from a Marta train station, and I 
plan on using that to commute. Earthlink's office here is only a couple 
blocks from the Arts Center train station so its a viable commuting method.
