Center bottom. Anyone familiar with early Microsoft OSes knows networking was an anathema to the Redmond programmers.

Washington can claim grunge and Starbucks, so I guess it's not a total loss.

I might spare this nonconformist-wait, what is this?

Dude, it's not exactly in Washingtonian nature to boast. We don't want more Californians coming here.

Also, if we're bringing Empire state of mind into this;

It would seem the consensus to sticky this thread is unanimous, as voted by populus and populus alone...not worth of a sticky.

What?! This is Blasphemy! This is Madness!

Washington, Oregon, Pacific Northwest. Decent place all around. However Texas, love it or hate it, has something this area lacks, personality and a clear identity.

Now this is sound advice.

On old Windows, click Network Places and watch your whole computer hang for 30 seconds. If you ever suffered through Win 3.1/95/98, you know that Gates thought of the net as an afterthought.

“Texas is a state of mind. Texas is an obsession. Above all, Texas is a nation in every sense of the word. And there's an opening convey of generalities. A Texan outside of Texas is a foreigner.”

And a person from anywhere else is a foreigner in Texas. I found the people in Washington to be more friendly.

And, as I will say in every post in this thread, Washington is pretty. I like green. I don't really care for brown. Green is the colour of life. Brown in the colour you get after you eat life. Very fitting for Texas, I should think. (no offense, I am talking about the "eating" bit, not the other thing that may also be inferred.)

The OP would have gotten much further with pics of Rainier/Cascades and other gorgeous Washington scenery, instead of extolling the virtues of Microsoft.

Washington is green, Texas is brown. All the time.

So in other words, if I ever opened a "New Jersey" thread, I should start it off with a picture of the scenery, right?
