What's up with it?: This Packard Bell is incredibly angry at the world. I got it in the summer of 2020 with the aim of making a short video; it quickly grew into an overbloated, several-hour project with an awesome amount of headache-inducing issues. The restoration chugged along at a snail's pace before becoming so convoluted that I abandoned the idea of ever finishing the video. It's still not working well, and maybe I'll re-use the shelved video project into a written series.
