“One thing in the article that jumped out at me...
“Haystax will retain its base in McLean, Virginia.
McLean VA is the home of Clowns, Inc and The Clown College.”
Yes, it is. And Durham is also the home of the Research Triangle. All sorts of interesting companies have bases there, including Cisco and IBM.
I believe The Hammr was kept in McClean Va. Just a thought.
