Wow... that's a bad dream rearing its ugly face...

It's been a long time since I've ever spoken about Packard Bell, and those words were not kind words...

I don't get it? Hadn't they still been in a portion of the computer market still?



I didn't realize they were still around at all....and hoped they'd died an ignominious death! Their PCs were a real pain in the arse to work on, didn't work right most of the time...gah! eMachines wre better! (and that doesn't say much)

True, compared to the PS1 and the old DFI stuff, they were gold. Guess you have to have a point of reference. :D

I think we are safe guys. If you look at the site it seems you don't have the option to select Uniter States as a option for the products or for a dealer. Let the europeans have the Packard Bells. Maybe we outlawed them. :)

I'd almost say that's a bad thing, but Commodore reigned supreme (and not by chance) in Europe for the longest time, while we shoveled money into IBM's pockets. May have to rethink this...
