In the US, Directory Information is reached by dialling 411 - hence,
'411' is shorthand for 'information'.

No disrespect intended but there used to be a lady who lived in Italy and
posted frequently on this board. I have forgotten her nom de ordinateur and
I just realized yesterday that I had not seen her postings for some time.
She was very civilized and measured in her postings, a Princeton grad, I
believe, and made, IMO, many valuable contributions. Any 411, anyone?. If
Ms. Mystery Lady is reading this, your presence is missed.

10-4. (I remember that from when Dragnet was on ITV in the early 1960s. My
favourite line of all time from that show was "Don't leave your blood on the
highway; sell it to the Red Cross").
