Greg, Re: Germans are extremely nationalistic.

After WW2 Germans aren't allowed to be nationalistic any more -- except for sports. More seriously: US citizens are a lot more nationalistic than Germans; e.g. you'll never see someone here displaying a flag in front of his house or elsewhere (except sports). If he did, he would be considered to be at the far-right or even a Neo-Nazi. And to get back on topic: Nobody knows here that Athlons are manufactured in Dresden, except a few computer geeks. And I've never seen an Athlon advertised as "made in Germany" either. Athlons are just relatively popular in Germany because they have the best price-performance ratio -- and Germans really love to save a few bucks (that's probably why so many buy their PCs from grocery stores here).

Andreas

PS: To give another example: There was a long debate in Germany if it is a good thing to say that you are proud of your country (Germany) or not. Many people here think that you can't be proud of your country, only glad that you were born there.
