Hi all, I've been reading the issue of "spinning local" from afar and want to reassure the original sender that the hidden-tech, virtual company way of life is becoming quite common and should grow as a movement as baby boomers retire in greater numbers. When time allows, I'm hoping to have an article on Hidden-Tech posted to the Website that is in the current edition of "Technology Times," the publication of the Eastern Tech Council in Philadelphia where I recently presented on Hidden-Tech. The article argues that virtual companies are a growing and important part of our economy and points out that small doesn't equal unimportant. If you need some additional articles, cite from the reports posted at www.hidden-tech.net about the money we collectively contribute to the local economy, one of a number of ways we help boost the regional economy. best, Amy Zuckerman Hidden-Tech founder, Clerk
