Living in Sacramento has its advantages.

.....how long do I have to provide them????
I know....I visited and enjoyed every single one of those great advantages.  Then I boarded my connecting flight and was rescued.

I guess Cali gave up geography in order to own technology.

Is there anything of technical significance in the entire state of Texass?  Don't even think NASA cause I'll hand you your arse on that one (well Cal-Tech, JPL and Germany will hand you your arse).  ;)
Only if you count the number one PC maker.  But then they didn't develop the technology.   ;)   NASA has no technology development here....just the command center....you know where the true control is.  All they left for California was the landing strip....because when it falls in the ocean there are still plenty of flat dry places to land the shuttle.

Boy, try a little trash talk on you Californians and you get all defensive.

It would have been easier to argue that the sales clerk was clueless about the NBA and what cities different different teams play in.  Which is most likely the case for some high schooler working in the mall after school.

But then that would take all the fun out of reading y'alls comments trying to defend the poor clerk who didn't know the Cavs played in another state.
Since you buy into the "easier" tactic, I guess it was easier to ignore my apparel post huh?  Pendejo!  ;)

Compaq is based in Texass?  FYI Compac is NOT a PC manufacturor, they are a PC assembler.  Crack open a case and you won't find ONE SINGLE compoenent manufactured by Compaq.  Funny that Compaq would "assemble" their computers in Texass but handle tech support from a foreig country.  Must be cause all the well educated Texass residents are busy with....err...uhmmm....

The really sad thing is that if you knew how long it took to train those Texas workers on how to stick card a into slot b -- kinda makes sense why Compaq can't sell any of it's 'puters?

Of course I ignored your apparel post....a little tactic I have learned from you Laker faithful.  Ignore any facts that may sway your beliefs.   :D

And last I checked Dell was the number one PC manufacturer but then basically they just assemble the parts also.  Does any "PC manufacturer" actually make their own parts?

And yes I will admit California has Texas beat in technology development but hey you can't beat our ([size=8]very poor[/size]) record for producing presidents.   B)

That's funny. I thought I was the first one to mention that perhaps that clerk may have been the problem more then anything else.

As for comparing California to anywhere else, I only wish everybody else would stop moving here because nothing ruins a good thing faster then bandwagon hoping and California has been on everybody's bandwagon since the Gold Rush.
