I did a little digging and they are all over the place. A simple visit to http:/www.aldi.com will tell you all of the countries they are in. Quite a world player. 'Twas news to me. Maybe I'd recognize some of the products they sell. I did buy a computer from them once. It was a bargain price for a very well designed computer. Of course, it came with Windows.
