RE: I had no idea....

I misremembered, it was SUN that they used! I'm old, forgetting more and more these days.

I think you and I were in Silly Valley at the best of times. I worked at a law firm (founded by a man who had come out to Moffet Field during WW2 as a blimp pilot/instructor!) that represented all the old school Co's at their pinnacle. It all went downhill in the early 2000's. Greed got the better of all of them. I quit and became the stay at home dad, my wife is still in it, solely for the real old school pension she qualifies for in 7 years. One of the last! She actually started at a firm that represented Apple against The Beatles (Apple Corps) when Apple SWORE at trial, no, nope nothing to do with music at all!

I miss those days, hard, hard work, but we had fun and it did feel like a famiily (met my wife at a company Christmas party, she was someone elses blind date). Now, churn and burn is what it's all about. Looking to follow you or Ivan out, maybe Colorado or New Mexico. My daughter is applying to UC Boulder for the fall, she loved it when she visited. California schools are no longer a realistic option for most kids.
