- a lot of companies use recycled parts in new equipment not just
- packard bell.
-
- when packard bell used to make standard computeres with big-ass cases
- (like the original pb900) they used to be alright, but ever since they
- introduced the legend series with its smaller ass case and only 3 slots
- they went sorta downhill.
-
- as far as you say that packard bell is not long for this earth, all i hafto
- say is do a little research. packard bell may not have been in the computer
- business for a long period of time, but they have been selling electronics
- for a really long time, like radios and the like
