- I'm very sorry to hear about your poblems but am suprised that you
- seem to be suprised. Packard Bell has been known to produce
- junk computers for many, many years. I understand they were even
- using used parts in their "new" computers some years ago! I hope
- you and all the other PB computer buyers return the junk, and get
- what you paid for. I guess they work for the majority of users who
- don't ever upgrade or expect much in the way of performance though.
-
- I write custom software for a local telecommunications company who
- unwisely bought 4 Packard Bell computers. Now they want to
- upgrade to NT, network the boxes and create a file server. They've
- been struggling with the substandard performance for a long time. I
- personally have never seen a 486/66 run so slow. They got a service
- person out to their company to replace a faulty monitor but he was
- lost when he looked inside the box and the PC is still running slow.
-
- I guess I'm asking a question with all this, without insulting anyones
- intelligence--what did you expect? and Why did you buy the dumb
- thing in the first place?
-
- Perplexed,
- Jason
