| COP is Washington DC area. ZKO is Nashua, New Hampshire. My
preference would be ZKO. Its my perception that New Hampshire has more
rural areas closer to work. If you were at COP, you'd probably have to
go into Maryland or thereabouts to get rural, and increase your
commute.
Not to mention New Hampshire isn't that far a drive to Boston...

| By the way.... before I getasked (I shoulda mentioned it), yes indeed
Suzie and I are thinking about moving down there. Been seriously
considering it for a while and aiming for the 1998 calendar spring :-).

| Well if you want to go to a "Big City" :-) I'm sure the NH noters
will extol the virtues of living in NH...

I'll take a shot for you:
[The opinions below do not represent the opinions of the management :-)
[Your milage :-) may vary ! ]
ZKO (Nashua)
o South of -
BAD !! move (you are now in Mass and have to pay Mass Taxes)
so why move to NH anyway. (No slur against Mass folks - just
that you pay a price if you live in one state and work in another)
o East of -
Towns of Hudson, Salem, etc. tend to also be "commute" distance
to Boston and thus tend to be more crowded than other directions.
o North of -
A lot of folks live in and like Merrimack. Bedford would be a pretty
long commute.
o West (and NorthWest) of -
The towns of Hollis, Brookline, and Amherst are WELL populated with
DECies (or is that supposed to be DIGITALies :-). Homes in Hollis
and Amherst tend to be bigger and more expensive. Brookline is
a little farther out but still within range and the homes are more
reasonably priced.
o Further Northwest -
Depending how far out you want to go, Milford, Mont Vernon, New
Boston and beyond are all getting "pretty country" (farms, etc).
Of course the commute is further.
COP (Washington D.C. ???)
o Washington/Baltimore is a BIG megalopolis and as far asd I know you'd
have to go pretty far out (probably West/NorthWest) of D.C. to get
to anything that looked like country.
Maybe someone that lives down there can say more.

| As far as ZKO and NH are concerned:
Any town that has access to rte 93 or 101 is an easy shot to ZKO
[assuming that they ever get the &^%$*&^ road done. Salem and Windham
folks would go cross country on rte 111. My commute from NE of
Manchester is about 45-55 minutes, all highway to within 1 mile of my house.
