Packard bells were absolutely terriable computers and here's why. They used to put tons of useless junk on there computers amd even had the incrediably lame navigator on them. The avi videos on them were interesting to see a few times but after that they're useless. You have to delete all the useless junk like navigator and the avi's and other programs to get more memory. Memory was still limited back then. The useless stuff thus had to go and tat took time to delete it all. Navigator really was such a poorly designed and terriably laid out what ever you cal it ( Is it an os or an os wannabe). The computers themselves were very unreliable. They were the worst desktop computers from 1986-1996 according to consumer reports. They were only around in 1986-1996 so for every year they were around they were the worst desktop manufacturer. It's even rated the worst computer of all time at pcworld.com . The computers were very poorly made. For the money you could have gotten a nice tandy or a compaq. The computers looked decent when you saw it at stores but really they proved to be unreliable.
