I work for a company in Hillsboro that was acquired last year, and then the buying company was itself acquired in December. We've gone from a $40 million to a $6 billion company in less than a year. Although the new company is aggressively outsourcing work to India, the prospects for the company are very very good and the technology we build in Hillsboro is considered crucial to the company's future. I'm optimistic. Rather than an acquisition resulting in the closing of a company here in Oregon, I'm seeing a strengthening of our base.
