Packard Bell revived a 1930s radio brand in 1986 to sell inexpensive, ready-to-run PCs through department stores and warehouse clubs rather than computer dealers. By the mid-1990s it was the best-selling home PC brand in the United States, and for a great many families it was simply the first computer in the house. It withdrew from the US market at the end of the decade.
