Arguments ??
Arguments is a fairly... tame word for the verbal "disagreements" you reach, isn`t it ?? [ 08-25-2002, 12:06 AM: Message edited by: LennonCook ] |

I have heard from a very trusted source that they are infact the same company, they just make printers and scanners under one name, the rest of the thing under the other, so that at the end of the day all the profits from both sides of the market go back to the same person. Now don`t get me wrong here, I`m not saying I don`t trust you; but are you absolutely sure of what your saying ?? |

Packard Bell has nothing to do with Hewlett Packard and the company is part of NEC now (in Europe I think). Hewlett Packard and Compaq are the same company now,of course.

That's sort of why I added the "of course" to the end of the sentence. My Mom would not know, so I guess not "everyone" is aware. Looks like you may be wrong, huh?
