Most important, since we are using this very media, Xanadu is the name of a super Internet that never existed, although Theodore Nelson started conceiving it in the sixties. It looks like no Xanadu (and Welles/Kane's as well) can ever really exist.

Utopia is a street in Queens (NYC)-called Utopia Parkway, it is neither utopian or lined with parks.. a neighbor along one streatch shares the name.. so it is possible to live in Utopia!
(and true to form, the neighborhood Utopia, is very far off the beaten path, isolated from major roadways and the subway!--it really is "no where"!)

thank you for your appreciation of 'crealude'. It's been my trade mark as well for some years and now my dot net, although mostly in French, I'm afraid ...
