IBM is in New York, and they have big doin's in Texas; you don't get any
bigger than IBM.  You mentioned TI and Dell, also in Texas.  ATI is in
Canada, and Gateway is somewhere in the Dakotas.  A lot of stuff was
based around Boston (though the biggest example, DEC, is no more).

HP has stuff going in Colorado, at least.  I think Intel has stuff
happening in the Seattle area.
