OT OT OT RE: Is it like Silicon Valley? Lizzie, not at all when I worked there in the 90s. I had to hide my cardkey that was on my key chain when out in public because of all of the attention and curiosity-seeking questions it would generate. There are lots of other businesses outside of tech. Of course, a lot of hightech companies have sprouted there recently but it's really different from Silicon Valley. I bet Google folks don't have to hide their cardkey in Silicon Valley - where the environment is different - where one company is one out of many hightech companies. No, the googlers have their fancy cars to tell people they're from google. Some people where their badges out as a sign of pride.
