For those who are unfamiliar with this neck of the woods, De Anza is also known as Sunnyvale-Saratoga Road; I believe that the signs now read De Anza. When coming down south-bound I-280, De Anza is the first Cupertino exit after the 85 exits (and, also the first exit after getting from 85 to 280); it is the exit after Wolfe coming from north-bound I-280. You want to head south on De Anza, which is a right off south-bound 280 (a left off north-bound) to Mariani Ave, which is the first light (past the I-280 overpass exchanges). Take a left onto Mariani, then turn left onto Infinite Loop, which is the first street to the left. IL3 is about half way around Infinite Loop. Each building entrance has a "badge" that displays the building name. Park in one of the lots across Infinite Loop from the entrance. I will alert the security people where the meeting is, etc. For those coming from out of town, Apple has a corporate rate for visitors at the Cupertino Inn, which is just across I-280 from the R&D campus. Its phone number is: 408-996-7700. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- John Kingman -- ~_~ ~ ~ ~_~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ | | ___ | |_ ._ _ | John A.
