Texas!
« on: October 22, 2002, 01:15:20 PM »
Texas is a very nice state to make your home. The people here are quite friendly and the cost of living in some areas is very reasonable. The beef here is tasty. The crime rate is generally low. I believe Texas is the largest energy producing state.

There are some great companies in the Dallas area like Nortel and Alcatel but they have been hit hard by the telecom industry bust. Bell is in the area as well. Lockheed Martin always has some interesting activity going on in Fort Worth.

Anyway, my thoughts on Texas. Hope you have a nice day and enjoy wherever you live!

Why no Texas beef?

That's why El Paso is at the bottom.

I don't suppose it's worth mentioning that most of the companies listed under "communications" are headquartered oustside of Texas, mostly in California. Also, aren't Alcatel and Nortel European companies?

Alcatel is French.  Nortel is Canadian, based here in Ottawa.  Bell Northern Research, the R/D devision of Bell Canada was deprivatised and became Northern Telecom, which was renamed Nortel Networks.

"I have said that Texas is a state of mind, but I think it is more than that. It is a mystique closely approximating a religion. And this is true to the extent that people either passionately love Texas or passionately hate it and, as in other religions, few people dare to inspect itfor fear of losing their bearings in mystery and paradox. Any observations of mine can be quickly cancelled by opinion or counter-observation. But I think there will be little quarrel with my feeling that Texas is one thing. For all its enormous range of space, climate and physical appearance, and for all the internal squabbles, contentions, and strivings, Texas has a tight cohesiveness perhaps stronger than any other section of America. Rich, poor, Panhandle, Gulf, city, country, Texas is the obsession, the proper study and the passionate possession of all Texans."

If Texas sucks so much, why are you playing a game made in TEXAS that's made by TEXANS?

One of these days people will realize that Texas is more like (especially Dallas) L.A. than one big cowboy ranch.  If you've never been to Austin, you're seriously missing out on the beautiful scenery (women) here.:p
