- Sigh. I did the same thing as Art Isbell. I've been working a 'day' job
- biding my time until my NeXT programming expertise came into demand. Now the
- time has come, but not here in Seattle. We've got a thriving software industry
- here, including many small start-up companies. But Seattle seems dominated
- either by Microsoft or by spineless entrepreneurs. There is very little NeXT
- development happening for a place with so much talent and such a large software
- industry. I don't want to relocate to any of the places you name and perhaps
- others feel the same way. Come on NeXT, sell a few computers in some more
- interesting places. I'd jump on a job in Hawaii!!
