That was a dark time. I was living and working near Seattle, and there were basically seven big employers for techies:

* Microsoft * Boeing * T-Mobile * WaMu * Amazon * Concur * Real Networks

And three of the seven were in severe financial distress. It was like, "hmmm is it time to leave Seattle?"
