I live in the Charlotte Metro area.
The IT people I run into daily are mostly local I would say.
They know their stuff.
I was just having fun with the thread. I work Data Centers small, medium and large. Different place everyday for the most part. Depends on what it is.
Some places are as small as two racks. Some are as large as 2 warehouses.
Charlotte traffic is just insane.
I may get bummed about the trek to the factory office in the woods but mostly light traffic helps.
