e-machine? Packard-Bell?
Some sort of freebie thrown at him by some company's marketing.

O bruther. E-Machines, if even around then, wasn't
making no clones.
They made Mac video cards and monitors. And I'll have you know my
Leading Edge/Sperry Model M runs rings around that Big Pyew. Supports
8" drives even maybe.

I'm not sure when "then" was, but I
think you've confused the company "eMachines" with the older UMAX/Supermac
brand. eMachines was from their inception a PC clone company. Through acquisitions,
eMachines was most recently an Acer brand, but has just been discontinued recently.

Nuh uh. The original emachines at least sold mac
cards. Check ebay. I
still have my old Futura SX video card stuck in a IIcx.
Which has nothing whatsoever to do with the *company* eMachines, which
did in fact, as Fred stated, produce PC clones.
