I don't personally think that where I live qualifies as a high-tech
mecca. Silicon Valley, absolutely. You can't cross the street without
running into a high-tech company there. Where I live, there is really
only one major high-tech company. It's debatable, but I can't even get
the two stooges to read a simple sentence let alone debate something
more subtle.
EOT for me, I promise.

Ken,
You need to get off the Intel campus and look around a little. Although
Intel is the big gun in Hillsboro, many high tech companies in the area
aren't exactly small time.
