Well, actually, yes, I have been up since they put in the plexiglass floor. It was a bit eerie, but after about 10 seconds your mind wraps around the fact that you're not going to plummet to your death, and it's kinda cool!! I felt totally secure. And, in answer to someone who wondered if the glass floor of the Grand Canyon thing would become translucent or even opaque, the one up the CN Tower seems fine. Some small scratches, but I guess they must buff 'em out on a regular basis... Don't show the shot of me clinging to the GFM rock, eh Mark? I wasn't really that nervous, except when I had to travers that little rock gully that, if one slipped, went down about 200 feet on a 45 degree angle. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
