Don, these guys were down in your neck of the woods. Do you remember who
was who down there?
No relation between Dave Packard and Packard-Bell.

Nope, no relation. I knew Bill Hewlett and was at a
conference with he and Steve Jobs many years ago. They were joking while we
ate lunch over their first meeting. Jobs, a kid at the time, came to Mr.
Hewlett with the plans for a PC computer, the original apple. Bill basically told
him they had designs of their own for a PC, patted him on the head and told
him he could stop by the parts room and go through the parts they didn't
need.
