I'm curious about this; why so many from Sweden ?

Does Sweden have a large base of VMS systems ?

Those Sweeds are smart folks and the dollar is low. Good reason to
be using VMS and come over here.

steel companies. And we are clever folks also... :-)

I have been to Sweden several times for the OpenVMS Technical Update
days, they have great customers, great OpenVMS Ambassadors and coming
to a good event during a good exchange rate sounds like a win win to
me. Also Sweden is headquarters to many international companies. In
the US you have NY, LA, Chicago. Europe has different capitals of
different countries.

I am excited to see so many of my friends again.

Does the name IKEA ring a bell?

I've been told that every IKEA store has a small Alphaserver in it.
