Austin and DELL are growing at incredible rates. Fez ______________________ EE TIMES January 25, 1999, Issue: 1045 Section: Times People -------------------------------------- Austin, Dallas, Houston form Texas OEMpire Adam Marcus Forbes magazine recently rated Austin the top city in the United States for doing business. Dell Computer, the area's largest employer, has been adding jobs at the almost-incomprehensible rate of between 100 and 200 a week. Fully 65 percent of Michael Dell's OEMpire works in the city. Motorola, too, has a major campus here. In 1989, Austin hosted 177 software companies; today, there are more than 600. Add in the rich arts environment, a temperate climate and no state income tax, and there seem to be good reasons for Austin's high rating. The University of Texas at Austin has been a prime mover behind the city's high-tech rise, said Diane Wardrup of the recruitment firm of Wardrup Associates. "One of the reasons Austin is doing so well is because you get a lot of incubator-type companies that start up and stay there," she said.
