Not Austin, Dallas. The company I work for is now based in Plano, a wealthy suburb north of Dallas.

Democrats are welcome in Austin. I wish I worked for Dell and lived in Austin. Actually, no I don't. Michael Dell is said to be rather tough on his execs and direct support professionals, at least according to one of his speechwriters I've talked to before. He sometimes still votes with the Ds, I understand. His wife went to school with a friend of mine, and she shared that not so long ago.
