Maybe it's because there are so few Mormons here in Pittsburgh?   For 
anyone moving
from Utah to here, I think the lower cost of living would be a decent 
raise, even without
a higher offer.  But I, too, am sympathetic to anyone who doesn't want 
to relocate.   For me,
it's family, and I know that's been true for at least one SCO person.  
He landed at VMWare
and what came as a revelation to him within weeks of the change, and 
after 20 years with SCO, 
was  how irrelevant SCO had become.
