In other words, Canadians are smarter, eh? :-))

One particular question in the opening message was "why is the AS/400
more popular in Canada than in USA?" I did not even realize that this
is the case. Does anyone here have an explanation?
It may or may not explain it, but Canadian companies tend to be
smaller than comparable US companies and therefore less able to
support the larger infrastructure that a Windows or Unix based
solution would require.
In my experience they also tend (like their European counterparts) to
be a little more concerned with the practical utility of new hardware/
software/technologies/etc. than their American counterparts. In other
words there is a little less "management by airline magazine" going on
in than in the USA.
