If, like me, you typically work on business software for a single large client, aside from (shameless plug) Mini-Compressor, then make the following substitutions:

Next time your entering data for a software demo try spicing it up and sneak some your famous real or fictional addresses.  Often you can’t use the fictional state/province but the street addresses are easy to sneak into a demo, or even better, into your product documentation.  Some ideas to get you thinking:

123 Sesame Street

211b Baker Street London, England
