Yeah, I thought they went out of business, too.

No kidding. :p Packard Bell was the first IBM compatible PC I ever owned. A badass 33MHz w/ 4MB of RAM

Yeah, I thought they went out of business, too.Me too. They had crappy PCs and are no longer is the US. It has a small screen, pretty thick and those little round buttons.

Seeing that OK button reminds me of the Zen Touch... lol


And Packard Bell was bought out by NEC and their business focus was in Europe so thats why we dont hear anything about them.... And yes their PC's were never the best either. When I bought my IBM desktop back in 1998 they still had Packard Bell pc's then. lol I since upgraded every single internal part to Pentium 4 (2003) standards but kept the stock case, 15" monitor, ball mouse and keyboard.. all genuine IBM parts which still work to this day :)
