I realize most people are still afraid of the 666 stuff (direct evidence from the phone company shows most people will not accept #s with 666 prefixes), but they'll get over it when they see the benefits, and how
In the 212 area code (Manhattan), 666 is around Columbia University. I used to be at 212-666-6984 for some 7 years.
When I was with Uncle Sam overseas, I bunked with guys from Brooklyn, Queens, and areas like that. They didn't seem to be influenced as much by the Bible-thumpers etc. as people from Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, and so on. Of course, that was the 1960's. Things have changed a lot, and the U.S. is much more cosmopolitan now. Nonetheless, it's interesting how much of the FUD from conservative Christianity (to name an example I'm familiar with) still has a strong presence in people's minds... What I could tell about 666 in my own case, I can hardly believe myself.
