Hello, my name is Ross and I come to you from Austin, Texas.
I went exactly the other way, from Nashua NH to Austin TX (by way of Los
Angeles and San Francisco). To me Austin is MUCH better than NH from a
quality of life standpoint with the one exception being the GNHLUG

No, but we may have to explain this newer concept of New England 2nd

Hi Ross,
I moved to New Hampshire in 1984, after living in Maryland (18 years),
Pennsylvania
(five years), Connecticut (six years) and Massachusetts (two years). It is a
great state, one of only two places I would even consider living in the United
States.

You haven't missed much. Unemployment in the area is high, pay is low (in
general). There are quite a few graduates from Michigan State who stay in the
area and competition is high. I remember one situation in particular. I was

We have the same thing in Texas, no income tax. Although, we do have sales tax
so it's not exactly the same. Our property taxes are high for the same reason.
I could understand making up for the taxes however they need to. From the
