With the caveat that I include the whole Bay area under the term "Silicon Valley", all I can say is:
No more I-pods for you ! No more Apples. No more Pixar flicks. No more Lucasfilm whizbangs, no more personal computer processor chips, no more commercial GPS, no more computer x-ray tomography, no more MRI, no more clip-on blood oxygen sensors, no more microwave radar tubes, no more black box Lockheed sattelites, no more Ghiradelli chocolates, no more Robin Williams, no more microchip inventions, and no more Google, to say the least, although perhaps an end to the latter might be welcome.
In return I acknowledge galvanized coil springs from PA, pork chubbies from Iowa, and ersatz bacon from who knows where.
And I bet I can hold my breath longer than you.

PS - Given the direction of the dollar, we will all be millionaires soon, and will buy coffee at $10,000 a cup (with no refills). So what ? |
