Let's go through a list of new industries developed in the last ten years Most of those go back much more than 10 years. Some of them aren't high tech - COST - hear of Walmart & Sams Club? WFMI - another non-high tech company and one that started in TX, heck it was in Houston in '83 when I moved here. Ever hear of TI, Compaq, Dell? In case you don't know, the energy industry is also pretty high tech nowadays and that hasn't developed in CA or WA. A drop in the bucket.....TX has over 20 million people. WA state has 5 million....and there is a hell of lot more new hi tech companies of size in WA state than in TX. As for the energy industry, what major companies has it spawned in the last ten years? The more hi tech NC becomes the less southern it is. Wow, now thats high tech, they're actually moving the state now. Funny. See thats an example, when you find high tech in the south, just call it non-southern. Why do you think NC went purple in 2008 for the first time?
