Warning, this is one of those Aaron emails that goes on for ever. I
actually wrote it in two sittings, it took so long. If you're not
interested in the internals of Google compensation, you may safely stop

Yes, as you've possibly heard both in the news, or on this very list,
Google is opening a data center facility in North Carolina. No, this
facility is not in or immediately near Raleigh, and for that I do
apologize. :) The location is in Lenoir, NC, which for those who might
not know is around
Aaron,
Sounds cool! As for me, I'd never be so naive as to reply to the whole list
*again* when I interested in a job offer. That would just be silly!
I really do appreciate they way you continue to think about us TriLUGgers.
Thanks much, Aaron.
Good day.

I have to second Tarus on the animal style double double. I usually go
for the 'well-done' fries as well. Aargh, starving now.
My sources tell me that Cook-Out is the thing that comes closest in NC,
