Yes, certainly for Boston and San Jose....

San Jose of course is at the heart of "Silicon Valley" and Boston is sometimes referred to (well, at least by Bostonians) as the "Silicon Valley" of the East Coast....

Universities play a big role, with Silicon Valley surrounding Stanford.

And in Boston/Cambridge there's Harvard and MIT.... plus several other universities like Boston U., Northeastern, U. Mass.... It's university city!

(I don't know all that much about Hartford, Connecticut....)

Thanks, Garth, at least for some products the university connection must be an important one....

Though I'm sure it could also be product dependent....
