>> RC> Exactly which cities would you say are a part of Silicon Valley, and
>> RC> which are not?


   Trying to define the boundaries of Silicon Valley is like trying
to define the boundaries of USENET. You can't. There's no sign on
any street saying "Welcome to Silicon Valley" nor is there one
that says "Now leaving Silicon Valley. Come back soon." It's not even
recognized by any govenment and the national media think anyplace 
that has a computer compnay near San Francisco is part of it.

I can see it now: Two people standing on one side of I-280 saying
"Oh, look! I can see Silicon Valley from here"

Silicon Valley is an area near San Francisco. That's as precise 
a statement as is necessary...
