That was my first PC!!! I paid $249 to upgrade to 8MB of RAM when Windows 95 came out!<br><br>And lemme put a huge WTF?!?! out there for someone manufacturing devices under the name f'ing PACKARD BELL?!?!?<br><br>This must be some foreign company that bought the rights to an old American computer company thinking the name would help them out, not knowing the company crapped out because of a used-parts scandal. I don't think anyone who knows the history of that company would actually pay money for that name.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mike]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 4th 2007 9:35AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Packard Bell's Compasseo 810 and 830 GPS units]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/04/packard-bells-compasseo-810-and-830-gps-units/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/04/packard-bells-compasseo-810-and-830-gps-units/</guid><description><![CDATA[You *do* know what company you are talking about, right uncle?  This is Packard Bell.  A (once) computer company that had such a horrible reputation in America that it folded.  What did you expect them to do?  They aren't creative enough a company to come up with something different. (Kinda like Microsoft...)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mike]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 4th 2007 8:59AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Packard Bell's Compasseo 810 and 830 GPS units]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/04/packard-bells-compasseo-810-and-830-gps-units/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/04/packard-bells-compasseo-810-and-830-gps-units/</guid><description><![CDATA[I think I speak for most of the world when I say....

While they left the American market, they were still trying to swim in the European budget PC market (much to the EU's consternation, I'm sure).  While the fact of their continued existence doesn't vouch for the quality of their product, it does speak volumes as to the power of the creating a product based on the least common denominator.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[scabby]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 4th 2007 12:15PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Packard Bell's Compasseo 810 and 830 GPS units]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/04/packard-bells-compasseo-810-and-830-gps-units/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/04/packard-bells-compasseo-810-and-830-gps-units/</guid><description><![CDATA[When I got into the IT biz around '98, the first client I was at had all HP workstations. My first reaction was "Holy crap, they use this junk here?". I had not yet realized that Hewlett Packard and Packard Bell were in fact NOT the same company. It wasn't until about two years later when I saw an abandoned Packard Bell in my friend's garage that it all came together.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[frank]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 4th 2007 6:28PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
