The fact that anyone would go to a Walmart to buy a computer takes some getting used to. But I like the concept of cheap computers.

Hmmmmmm.... you must be too young to remember Packard Bell 386 SX machines.

Oh man. Am I ever glad I did spent all that money on those Computer Shopper magazines. When I was shopping for my first computer, in 1995, I looked at Packard Bell's line (not knowing their reputation). Needless to say, I didn't get one. I knew someone who did though. They had to send their monitor back three times and I believe they had other problems with it.

I had a Pack' Bell SX. It was last PC I owned. I actually felt sorry for the poor software I put on that P.O.S.
