One of the most visible locational decisions (0) ............ a high technology firm was made by the Microelectronics and Computer Technology Corporation (MCC). A joint venture of a dozen major computer and semi-conductor firms, MCC was founded to do research (21) ............ advanced level technologies such as new generations of supercomputers, artificial intelligence and robotics. (22) ............a consortium created in 1982 by several firms, it had no home base or locational inertia, and began its search for a site by examining 57 cities across the country.

The four finalists in the chase— Atlantis, Austin, San Diego and Raleigh-Durham, in the Research Triangle area of North Carolina, (23) ............was particularly noted for high tech activity.

The university’s reputation, state commitments of further support, and the city’s proven quality of life attractiveness (25) ............high tech people were the deciding factors.

In the typical snowballing manner of high tech areas, several other companies have decided to move research (28) ............other advanced technology facilities there.

As a matter of fact, the entire 100 mile corridor between Austin and San Antonio is nicknamed "Silicon Gulch". San Antonio is the site of several computer biotechnology and electronics companies. (30) ............the "Gulch" will rival the San Francisco Bay and Boston regions in high technology will depend on its ability to spawn a succession of new firms as technology advances and changes.
