tech geeks who pay $2,000 a month for studio apartments and drive BMWs in Menlo Park, Palo Alto, or Mountain View.

In 1985 maybe. You couldn't rent a parking space in Palo Alto for that now.

LOL! Here now, I'll have you know I paid only $700 for a one-bedroom in Mountain View in the early 1980's. I buzzed by the old place about six months ago just to see what was up. Uh...it's a glass-embedded office building now and I'm thinking my seven bills wouldn't buy me a coffee card now.

Those were the good days, though. Amdahl to Zilog...you'd see a bunch of guys pouring a flat of concrete in a field and a week later there was a building...
