The price of technology. Personally, I'm torn between the apple orchards
and technology. I like toys....but I like apples and all the other things
that grow from the ground up. That's the saddest part, living here in
Irvine and watching all these buildings coming up for the hi-tech
businesses. Some of the best vegetable and fruit growing soil in the world
getting buried by cement.

I'm a native Californian myself, and watching Silicon Valley grow from Apple
Orchards to Apple Computer (and Tandem, IBM, HP, etc.)....they had it
coming...and they knew about it many years ago.
The only ones to blame are the ones who caused it in the first place.
