Gottfried, I spent Easter weekend in Palo Alto with family. On Monday, I skimmed the SJ Merc business pages, and got a big laugh from some of the ads.

- Duluth, Minnesota (yes, the city) took out a full-pager. Their salient points were: we have power; we have water; we have quality of life; we have low costs of living/operating; and we don't have earthquakes.

- Jump.net, an Austin-based ISP, ran a half-pager touting, among other hype, power, bandwidth, and infrastructure for colocation of e-commerce servers.

Just some examples of the FUD-mongers exploiting CA's current troubles. However, I *did* give my brother a solar battery charger as a joke to tweak him. <g>
