The Beatles

I just found a discarded Packard Bell 486 (I almost left it because the
case looked like a 286's). I don't know why you all dislike those things
so much, this case is very good. Anyway, when the machine boots, the ROM
displays a "Packard Bell" graphic, complete with a 3-second fade-in (if
only people paid so much attention to _useful_ stuff). Underneath, it
displays, "America grew up listening to us. It still does." Now, this is
my question. What does this mean? When was this company founded, and
what was their original product?
