		We agree with respondents that the best evidence rule does not exclude [4] Alagem's* testimony that he was entitled to this salary and waived its receipt, and that the absence of any documentation to substantiate Alagem's testimony goes to the weight and not the admissibility of the evidence.
		Yet Alagem also testified that Vault was a subsidiary of AST, and he offered no testimony or other evidence demonstrating that Vault was the alter [*14] ego of AST or had any liability for AST's debts.
		The Alagem deposition was pending, and appellants' efforts to subpoena the financial documents on which the motion relied had been thwarted by respondents' motion to quash.

	Los Angeles Business Journal: Can former Packard Bell chief revive troubled AST? - Beny Alagem acquires AST Research Inc
		Alagem wouldn't say how much he paid for the private company, which he renamed AST Computers and has moved from Irvine to Century City, but Samsung executives reportedly put the price at $12.5 million in cash.
		Alagem began developing the deal with Samsung almost immediately after stepping down in July from Packard Bell NEC Inc., amid rumors of a rift with the company's majority partners.
		If Alagem did pay $12.5 million, it represents a significant loss for Samsung, which paid $377.5 million in 1995 to acquire a 40 percent stake in AST and is believed to have invested as much as $200 million more to keep things afloat.

		Packard Bell NEC has appointed a successor to chairman, president, and chief executive officer Beny Alagem, who said today he was resigning from the company to pursue other interests.
		Alagem declined to elaborate about the disagreement, but he seemed to indicate that problems arose in the company's efforts to move beyond its consumer roots and start attacking the commercial market.
		While Alagem and the company said that they have been piecing together a new senior management team for the past few months, the resignation--or at least the timing of it--came as a surprise.

	Packard Bell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1986, Beny Alagem and a group of investors bought the Packard Bell name from Teledyne and resurrected it as a manufacturer of low-cost personal computers.
		However, Compaq overtook it in retail sales in mid- 1996 and cemented its lead the next year with the release of a $999 PC in March 1997.
		Price pressure from Compaq and, later, eMachines, along with continued poor showings in consumer satisfaction surveys made it difficult for the company to remain profitable and led to Alagem's departure in 1998.

		Beny Alagem, co-founder and former CEO of Packard Bell NEC, has completed a deal with troubled Samsung Electronics subsidiary AST Research Inc, which will see him take over the AST brand name and an exclusive license to its intellectual property portfolio.
		Alagem says AST Computers will be an internet-driven company focused on providing computer systems to small and mid-size businesses and the home market.

		Ezzel kapcsolatban Alagem rámutatott, hogy az amerikai háztartások több mint felében még nincs számítógép.
		Alagem még tavaly júliusban hagyta ott a Packard Bell NEC elnök-vezérigazgatói székét, mert nem sikerült megegyeznie a vállalat két tulajdonosával, az NEC-vel és a Bull-csoporttal.
		Noha az 1986-ban részben Alagem által alapított Packard Bell többmilliárdos PC-gyártóvá nõtte ki magát, az utóbbi idõben rosszul állt a szénája, és az NEC szerint a Packard Bell a felelõs azért, hogy nem jöttek egyenesbe a közös cég pénzügyei.

	Alagem returns to revive Samsung's AST \| CNET News.com
		Alagem's new company will target small and midsized businesses as well as the home market, relying heavily on e-commerce, according to a prepared statement.
		Last September, Alagem formally resigned as chief executive of Packard Bell, having earlier announced his departure amid a lengthy sales slump that cost the Sacramento, California-based company its position among America's top five PC makers.
		At the time, sources told CNET News.com that Alagem was retiring because of health problems--Alagem suffered a heart attack in September 1997--but in an interview, Alagem said he was resigning because of a fundamental clash between Packard Bell's original executives, major shareholders NEC, and Groupe Bull.
