Having travelled to and from B.C. and Alberta a number of times (the more the better), I have had minimal hassle with the U.S. Customs upon reentry to the U.S. True, they are somewhat less courteous than the Canadian Customs upon entering Canada, but I've had no inordinate problem. I cherish my experiences in Canada and I would find a surly U.S. agent a real downer after a wonderful visit. I hope it's localized to Buffalo. (Where's Buffalo?) Jere M. Marrs Tektronix, Inc.
