	Fool.com: Packard Bell Bites the Dust (Fool Plate Special) November 3, 1999
		Rather than analyzing what the demise of Packard Bell means for the future of NEC (hint: Life will go on and the Japanese electronics giant will survive), investors should use today's news to reflect on the overall direction of the PC industry in this country.
