Well, my mom asked me what a "blog" was a few months ago because she
heard some newsmodels talking about blogs on TV. So I guess these
things can filter down eventually. But she lived in Hillsboro, one
town west of Beaverton, and I daresay she had not heard of Linux. My
cousin, a Machead from way back, lives in Aloha (kind of wedged in
between Hillsboro and Beaverton), and I don't think she's any more
than vaguely aware of Linux. I'll have to ask her. I'm in Portland,
on the other side of the center of the Linux universe from Hillsboro,
so I guess you could say my family revolves around Linux,
geographically speaking, like the planets around the sun (except that
we don't actually change positions). I think I'm the only one who
knows what it is, let alone uses it.
Now Nike and Intel, on the other hand ... everyone here knows them!
I, also, live in Aloha, only about 3 miles from the 'center of the
universe'. I frequently pass within site of OSDL when I am out
shopping. I wonder how many of us on this list are in the immediate local?

No boom today. Boom tomorrow. There's always a boom tomorrow.
What?! Look, somebody's got to have some damn perspective around here.
Boom. Sooner or later ... boom!
