[MLUG] a sad day for emachines (non linux)

[liz <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

 From Ziff Davis
Funny, I would have NEVER bought a gateway computer, have seen one in 
action and had to fix the monitor hookup when half the pins fell out.
My emachine is just as good if not better than my HP was, tower was just 
a little flimsier but otherwise has been great except for video capablities.
I did own a Sony Vaio once, that's when I learned the trick of putting 
the hard drive in the freezer to make it work?? so much for high end 
computers?
Everyone is different huh???
