to be honest (as an Irish bloke) I couldn't give a shit about American companies. Because of the strong Yen I fear for my beloved Japanese companies, and we all know when it comes to electronics the japenese rule.
Some examples of japanese electronic companies are:
Casio
Canon
Denon
Fujitsu
Hitachi
JVC
Kenwood
Mitsubishi electric
NEC
Nikon
Omron
Onkyo
Orion electric
Panasonic
Pioneer
Ricoh
Sanyo
Seiko
Sharp
Sony
Toshiba
Now its obvious life would be crappier without these great firms
