Hey.
Well, I actually did that when I went back east to college.
But in today's world, you don't need to be anywhere. It wasn't that long ago that one of the top .net consultants lived in Billings, Montana. He, like many consultants, would fly out Sunday evening, and back on Thursday. And he also wrote a book or two.
So today it is even easier to be remote and be a major contributor. As in 37 signals.
I can't believe this has been up for 4 hours and I'm the first person to suggest this. Perhaps as the comment is a little harsh.
