	A bit of advice....bring the Better Business Bureau into it. A 
copy of all letters fowarded to the BBB can lead to results. I wrote 
Packard Bell several times (called like thoasands) and put the litte 'cc: 
BBB' at the bottom of the letters. The only way I got *any* satisfaction 
was through this......
	Oh, and never *ever* buy Packard Bell!!! 8-) Never..
