Default Goodbye Packard Bell

Well, I held on to my PB Multimedia M400 as long as I could. I wanted a DVD
burner, and many of the new software titles require XP. Goodbye Packard
Bell. Too bad there are no new PB models in the US.

Believe me your much better off. In my opinion they were crap when
Benny first started making them, and even though the company is no
more over here in the US the best a person could hope for was never
wanting to upgrade the damn thing, or use the latest OS, or pray it
never needed any service or support of any kind.

Dells are running around $400 US with the DVD burners installed as
inducements for purchase http://www.dell.com/tv
