Fail.
It was for an old lady who had like a 7 year old computer that lagged at solitaire and she only used it for email, shopping, and solitaire type games. I got a $100 profit from her so I'm happy and she's happy that she has a much faster computer.

The only problem I have with emachines for common users is that I've seen power supplies fail in both of the ones that have come into my house. My GF's mom's emachine's motherboard died also.

My first computer was an emachines with a 1.1 Ghz Duron processor and like 128MB of ram. I think i was 14 when I got it. It was a really good first computer and I never had any problems with it. It played Red alert 2 pretty good, but I realized I needed a new computer when I tried to run C&C Generals.

I had a similar computer, but before emachines had really become prominent. I think it was a Micron PC or something like that. But yeah, it played Everquest and Red Alert fine Funny thing though, its powersupply also died.

Ah. I just know that one of the cards we had you could chain together with vga cables. I think it was a voodoo 2, but it might have been some rage3d thing

+1. My e-machines PSU failed.

The first one to die in my house went out in smoke. It made a loud popping noise, then starting smoking. We unplugged it then, but it probably could have gotten pretty bad if we weren't there at the time.

My first computer was a custom-made Pentium 386 PC running DOS 5.0 and Windows 3.1 on a 210MB hard drive back in 1990. I was in kindergarten, and it was the best thing that ever happened to me. It changed my life forever.

you had your own computer in kindergarten? Lucky duck, I had to share the family one. Reader Rabbit ftw!

My little brother played that game. I always thought it was saying "Weener rabbit"

Well, technically, it was the family computer, but I adopted it. And I agree, Reader Rabbit FTW!
_________________ Ever get that feeling of deja vu?
The first family computer was a something-86 - I was too young to know. Since my dad works with computers, I've had electronic crap around my house for as long as I can remember. We had some sort of computer or game system that ran off of cassette tapes...
I never did reader rabbit, but I had a program that would read out what you typed in and that was fun. My dad was against running windows 3.1 for some reason. It was on the computer, but he'd never tell me how to run it. Wolfenstein 3d was the pinnacle of my experience on that computer.
