With NYNEX's extremely overpriced CDROM based product, one can simply
scan up and down a street. Great fun finding neighbors you never knew
you had.

I don't know what the retreival capabilities of the more reasonably
priced and wider area CDROM listings are.

There is a YELLOW PAGES CDROM that doesn't mention street capability,
but come to think of it that would be GREAT! I often know exactly
WHERE something is, but don't know if it is listed under JUNK or
ELECTRONICS or USED-COMPUTERS, and a street scan would let me
recognise the name or category. Ask the folks at 1-800-45-SPEED for
info if CDROM business listings are of interest.
