: I wish to ask it the "rt66" part of the Iris-L address was inspired by
:U.S. 66. Back in June 1977, I got see a part of U.S. 66; The Road To
:Adventure.
Yes. "Route 66" is the name of my internet service provider. They're
located in Albuquerque, which was one of the stops on the old highway. I
guess they thought the name mixed a little nostalgic Americana into the
"information superhighway" metaphor.
Cheers, Tom.
