There does seem to be a lot interest in getting a technology market
started in Nevada, it just seems slow in happening.  The truth of the
matter is, for those of us interested in starting our own ventures, there
just isn't the networks available like in the Valley, and I find myself
going down the Bay Area just for that reason.  I can meet more like
minding people in a day working at the Canvas coffee shop, than I could in
a year in Reno.  Although probably nothing is like the Valley.  There is
just a ground swell of people that are smarter, younger, and hungrier than
the rest of us.

Do you think there is a demand for such a service?  I think government is
the perfect Linux user.  I went to a technology conference in Europe this
spring. There government is the biggest IT driver.  You wouldn't believe
the interest in Linux.  It is for real. Although it seems somewhat driven
out of an anti-US business stance. And these are the same people that went
for OS/2, so I'm not sure what that means.
