BACK into production? They started with 8088 class machines and died just about 3 yrs ago. NEC bought them out and killed the whole line, support, name, etc. By the way in the Pentium class production they actually had a few decent machines but still had lousy support as they did since day 1. I can think of many, many other machines prior to and during their day that were way worse than Packard Bell though - such as Epson, Sanyo, DeltaGold, Commodore, Tandy, NCR, AT&T and many many more. > -----Original Message----- > From: computertalkshop-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:computertalkshop-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Paul > Sent: Saturday, April 14, 2001 9:34 AM > To: computertalkshop@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [CTS] Re: celeron or pentium > > > > "Eric C.
