I've also lived and worked in both Austin and Mt. View (in SV). I wasn't impressed with Silicon Valley. As a lowly engineer, it struck me as a high tech ghetto. If you drive up and down El Camino Real, it's like one giant strip mall with no differentiation between towns. The executives in the company I worked in would have rather been shot than move to Texas, although only one of them had ever even been to Austin. Some of my college educated co-workers asked me questions like, "Is there any water there?"<g>

Some California folks that worked with me in Austin were absolutely floored by the summer heat and humidity. They were joggers, but they couldn't hack it in Austin in the summer.
