More or less, I'd say. The thing about "local techies" not understanding
the potential value of stock options is funny, though. I'd say many of us
(e.g., refugees/former employees of Imonics, SEER, et al.) know all too
well the difference betwixt "potential" value of stock options and their
"actual" value. Call me cynical.

I've been to SF/SV, Austin, Chicago, NYC, DC, Boston, Atlanta, etc. and
I like RDU the best. It hasn't outgrown its charm, even if you count Cary,
and it is still growing -- unlike Austin or Mt. View, there's no feeling
that the boom is over, left in the form of concrete embankments or brand
new traffic lights.

Heh. Well, except for the reference to Cary's "slow growth" mayor, yeah.

Heh. Come on, it's *upside*, for heaven's sake. :)
