At the time, he probably had several machines, presumably including some good [selected] ones, and some crap provided by marketers. But eMachines are the quintessential example of CRAP. Enough for the name of the company to become used to refer to ANY crap from any brand. "Under Meg, even HP is now gearing up to make eMachines!" They were OBVIOUSLY not related to the company that made decent Apple products. They were bought by Gateway, then Acer? OFFICIALLY pronounced dead [with a stake through th3e heart] this year! They arguably held the title of "WORST COMPUTER PRODUCTS" for their entire lifespan. They made Packard Bell look good. They made early Dell look good. They were best known for distributing a BIOS upgrade a few years ago, that permanently bricked every machine that it was installed on. At no point in the company's life did they EVER believe in testing any products. -- Grumpy Ol' Fred cisin at xenosoft.com
