Packard Bell Still Exists?

I have to admit, I didn't know Packard Bell still existed. Now it might be bought by Lenovo.

Packard Bell originally made radios, starting in 1926. After that company wound up part of Japan's NEC, Israeli investor Beny Alagem bought the Packard Bell name and created a PC maker in 1986. The company never had an exactly distinguished history, selling its computers in Sears and playing off confusion with the Hewlett-Packard brand. PC World ranks Packard Bell computers made from 1986 to 1996 as the worst of all time. No. 2 in the list is the Mattel Barbie PC.

Apparently, these days, Packard Bell is, as they say, big in Europe.
