I haven't checked either of those, so I definitely will now, thanks. SF is on my short list. I really like the idea of going there, but a friend who has worked all over the west coast says I should try outside CA first, and go there if nothing else comes first. I hate just going off one person's opinion which is part of the reason I am asking these questions.
