I have bought this packard bell executive multi-media A950 RARE windows 95 vintage works great dos from eBay for £130 + £12 p&p. After making a deal with Lets go Retro Limited (nicolar1826) as I couldn't resist Packard Bell base unit so much and I love these Packard Bell models so much!! It has the same features as [[User:Jonathanen#Packard_Bell_EXECUTIVE_MM_9021_XE:_12_April-1997_-_24th_August_2001_.284.29|Packard Bell 9021 XE]] except the memory, hard drive capacity, Windows 95A instead of Windows 95B (OS 2.1), CD-ROM drive and processor speed. But that's no problem for me, as I can easily upgrade them one by one all by myself.
