PC World names Packard Bell the worst PCs of all time

PC World named Packard Bell computers as the worst PCs of all time. The company “was a perennial bottom dweller in PC World’s reliability and service ratings” and had twice the industry-standard product return rate. Packard Bell no longer sells PCs on the American market.
I actually have a soft spot in my heart for the old Packard Bell 406CD. Although it had its fair share of problems, I first learned Windows, HTML and a host of other skills on the old corner PC. Perhaps its inclusion is warranted, but I’d have to disagree with its placement at the top of PC World’s list. The corner PC, with its whopping 16 Mb of RAM and an entire 1 Gb of hard drive space, served my family well.
