Perhaps. Personally, I find that, while Slim was very american in some
ways (mostly the good ways), I've stuck with them because they're very
unamerican in other ways.

Good ways that they are american: 
* entrepreneurship: company was started more or less in a garage with a
wire-wrapped prototype (the sliMP3). 

Good ways that they are not american:
* open source
* open box - they always snap pictures and post them, showing us what's
inside the box so we don't have to disassemble them - although I did
disassemble my SB1s and SB3s - haven't opened up a Duet receiver yet.
* open forums, open to suggestions about improvements
* sense of humour - announcements that turn out to be april fools
jokes.
