:raises hand and looks at the floor: My name is Paul and in 1995 I bought a Packard :spit: Bell from PC World. All I can say is that it spent more time in PC World technical center than it did in my house. After 6 months of constantly transporting it to the shop for yet another fix I stripped out the components that I needed for it (bought a new sound card, modem, graphics board in an attempt to make it usable) and built my first PC with no experience and 6 months on/off PC experience.
I suppose in one way I owe a lot of my computer knowledge and experience to PC World and Packard Bell selling rubbish that year
