Well, behind the building I'm in right now is a "Starfire Lane". I think it was generated at random by the program real estate developers use to generate "Clearbrook Lane", "Pebbletree Parkway", "Beechnut Road", and so on. I'm sure they didn't expect it. If it was in a better part of town I'd seriously think about moving there just for the address. Anybody got any other nice SF-like street names? Is there a "Star Drive" out there somewhere? -- Peter (Made in Australia) da Silva UUCP: ...!shell!neuro1!{hyd-ptd,baylor,datafac}!peter MCI: PDASILVA; CIS: 70216,1076
