Reading the other reports on this site, it's not very high. We, however, love it. I've heard numerous people say it's either you love it or you hate it. It depends on your mindset. If you're unhappy, sick, or bored the first week, you'll hate it. If you have a positive attitude, get used to the fact that things take longer, that things are a little more chaotic, then you'll love it. - Feb 2008
