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!!
