Ian,

Welcome! Used to live in Raleigh myself, and interestingly enough, I was in consulting and one of my accountw was IBM in RTP, specifically the preload labs. Do you live out in the Durham/Chapel Hill area, or more toward the Raleigh side?

Welcome back to the forum.

Welcome back Ian.

I'm glad to hear that you're seeing random kilted guys in your area. California is usually where social trends begin, but the kilt-thing is coming on very slowly here.

[MacMullen]

Welcome back, from someone who arrived here after you left, but before you joined again.

Thanks all for the welcomes! You guys are great.

It is neat to see all the connections to my location. If yall are curious, I was raised in Shelby NC. I am sure that a few of you have heard of it. Now, I have said I live in Raleigh, but that is a generalization. I live out in the country south of Knightdale, and I work in Durham (RTP). Yes, my commute sucks. But we just can't afford to live closer to civilization.

Yall free free to chat me up on Yahoo Instant Messenger.

Ian, that is a rough commute. We lived in Garner at first, then in Cary (and yes, I know all the possible meaings of what Cary stands for!) which we did not like as well, even though it was nice to be closer to the office.

I spent 4th & 5th grade living in the Raleigh area. The first year was in Raleigh proper and the 2nd year was in Cary. Mom was finishing up graduate studies at NC State.

:-D

Prior to moving to Camden, my wife lived in Cary and commuted to NCSU. She moved to Camden with a 3 year plan to transfer to the Upstate of SC; that was 10 years ago now.

Welcome back Ian!
