   It is curious that electronics moved west. HP, Tek, Varian, Apple, all   
   the silicon valley stuff.   
      
   There was GR, Boonton, DEC, Data General, tons of stuff around Boston.   
   Even serious electronics in New Jersey and NYC.   
      
   Maybe it's moving south now. Samsung and TSMC are building their new   
   fabs in Texas and Arizona. Maybe Wall Street will move to Florida.   
      
   But here in SF it's cold most of the year. "Wow, that lady looks great   
   in a parka."
