I went to Nortel PBX training in Richardson a couple of years ago, and Raleigh, NC the rest o the time.  They have a huge OSU Alumni gathering for OSU games there.  Not that it helped.

There are more folks from Ohio than I realized.  Here is a shot of the C&O bridge and the Ohio River looking downstream, it is a five minute walk from my home.
