Being a little hard on Yugo there, aren't we :)? The thing I remember most
about Packard Bell was that a friend of my wife's bought one (without asking
my advice), needed some help, and it had tamper resistant seals over the
edges that asserted a voided warranty if the case was opened. My thoughts
were along the lines of "how dare they?"
