    The Houston Chronicle has an article about a slight cooling in the Austin economy and I would like to hear what some of our Austin brethren have to relate about it.

    No problem for me, I just wish it would slow our growth rate.

    Isn't that cooling everywhere with the Tech "slowdown"? Dallas has experienced it somewhat, especially since this is one of the centers of the telecom industry and Nortel, Cisco, Alcatel, Lucent, etc. all have a large presence here.

    As long as it doesn't hurt any of my BBS friends, I don't mind. At least the rent may start going down.

    I saw some homes for sale in the neighborhood, but once they sell (and they will), all will be back to normal (i.e. cannot find a home to buy).

    Just a short-term industry shakeout. Don't understand why everyone seems so surprised - textbook case.
