Packard-Bell bashing. Send me every PB model 250 you can get
your hands on - I will even pay shipping (and for the crate).
Heh heh. I thought that comment would flush out a PB person or two. :)
They have actually gotten alot better, but I don't think you'll ever see
any in the Smithsonian like some classic systems.
