In an article this month, Wired Magazine has named the
Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area 5th best region for high
tech worldwide, ahead of Helsinki, Austin & San Francisco!
(Silicon Valley topped the list.)

Couldn't find a link to the article -- just heard it cited
this morning on CNBC. I'll paraphrase what they had to say
about our hometown:

"Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill? No freakin' way, we thought. 
Last we heard, most of North Carolina doesn't even have
running water. But then, we visited the Internetworker's
web site ( http://metalab.unc.edu/internetworkers/ )
As soon as we saw that pulsating "Join Now!" button and
that AMAZING picnic script, we felt like a dog watching
his master make dinner. We knew we were seeing the work
of some true tech gods and we had to squeeze the Triangle
in to the top 5 high tech cities."
