I have not had any bad luck with either gateway (lasted 7 years!! !) or emachines! Even though they are both owned by the same guy, they have very good quality. eMachines uses not the best but close to the best parts (a step above compaq who uses generic but charges regular price for them) and their prices are the best out there, even of dell! check them out at e4me.com
also you can't buy directly from the site, unless in chat, you need to go to the store and buy it. (you get a much better deal there)

I guess its possible he is merely a worker in a massive building in India posing as an aspie to hype various products. But he could just be an aspie obsessed with those products. I think we will assume the latter for now.

Can we kick their arse, order a full ban deluxe with cheese? (Are any Indians allowed to have cheese?)

Nice to see ahayes doing something good for the community. :D

I re-read the quotes, and he seems to be hyping products that are competitors with one another. This leads me to believe that he has a computer obsession, rather than being a spammer. If he were a spammer, I think he'd only be promoting the one product that is paying him to spam.

Money lubricates a lot of things. I'd bet many advertising companies do works for rivals....

I thought the usual strategy to hype products was to have at least 2 email addreses and user names. One name asks a question and the other replies praising the product.

Haven't seen all the posts, so offer no opinion.

eMachines is u83r crap.

He is almost as bad as a full-blooded spammer/troll.
