Dell is based in Round Rock, just outside Austin. That's the biggest
> company I can think of in that area. I'm sure there are others.
When I lived in Austin in the 1950s, Round Rock was a small town 20 or
30 miles north of Austin noted primarily as the place where Sam Bass, notorious robber of stagecoaches, trains and banks, engaged in a gun battle with Texas Rangers, in which Bass was wounded. The next morning he was found lying helpless in a pasture north of town and was brought back town where he died two days later on his 27th birthday.The last time I was through Round Rock a few years ago it was office and research buildings and laboratories; development was continuous between Austin and Round Rock.
