iMac vs Packard Bell
This is an old article, but reading it made me laugh.. <a href="http://www.cnn.com/TECH/computing/9811/09/macvp2.idg/" target="_blank">http://www.cnn.com/TECH/computing/9811/09/macvp2.idg/</a>
here are quotes: "..interim CEO Steve Jobs' boast that the iMac is faster than the quickest Pentium II.." and "With 32MB of RAM (its standard shipping configuration), the iMac got clobbered on our Excel and 5MB-image Photoshop tests; in fact, the slower of our two test PCs, a Packard Bell Multimedia 945 with an Intel Celeron-333 processor, finished ahead of the iMac by 55 percent and 80 percent, respectively, on these tests"
Whoa. Shamfull to be clobbered by a Packard Bell...Of course this article is from 1998...Since Packard Bell is somewhat dead, I guess the iMac is doing the clobbering!

I love Packard Bells, they make up about 75% of my repeat customer base
Get's worse though, not only are Packard Bells still selling over here... I've started seeing e-Machines
I'm in charge and I say we blow it up

True. Though I'm beginning to understand the look everyone at my local garage gives me whenever I drag what remains of my Fiat Panda in.

Better put a PC Chips board in that, give us loads of replacement business when some know-it-all kid tries to upgrade the BIOS.
