Now that NEC owns a larger share of Packard Bell,
I wonder how much of that "Packard Bell Technology"
we'll see in the NEC line of computers.  I couldn't imagine
it going the other way with NEC making improvements in
the design of the Packard Bell systems.  On the realistic
side of it, Packard Bell owners got just what they paid
for - I don't mean this in a bad way.  If they dropped $1200
for a PB system instead of $1700 for a Gateway, they got
their money's worth - no more, no less.  Also, as other major
manufacturers struggle to manufacture a PC for under $1,000,
I'm sure we'll see lots of corners cut in the process.
