Just thought I'd say that I have had a Packard Bell since Nov. 96 and
the only problems I have had were my own fault.  The downside is their
help-line is pathetic and expensive so any questions I have had have
been answered by this and other NG's.  I know my experience isn't much
to go by as I'm an oldie with a new toy.!!
