Quantum, Western Digital, Seagate, Maxtor, Exabyte, HP, and a handful of others
are all in the storage (mainly rotating memories) business with major plants in
the Colorado front range area. The move to this area came about in the 90's.
There have been several other MAJOR companies not in the semiconductor
manufacturing business located here.
It's easy to oversimplify.

area, really... Though I'm sure most people on this list will recognize
Otrona...
