Default E-Machine

I went browsing through future shop yesterday and I went up to one of the sales monkeys and asked him what they have for boxing day sales (I like to plan ahead and bedget accordingly = which means KD till christmas)

Anywho, he said the E-Machines will be on sale, I said "I personally wouldnt buy an E-Machine" however, he told me that they have actually fired all their managers and hired new ones. The mobo and components are all made by NForce. This seemed interesting, and also affordable. I still wouldnt buy one however.

Just thought id share that with you as it amused me.

Say...how many people from Canada are there on these forums anyway? There's me...Paradox...ADZ...a_zip...must be more...got to be a bit more observant...

Anyhow, Best Buy just bought Future Shop (even though they are keeping their store names, ads, etc)...and you Americans do have Best Buy...

a lot of the time they get a hunk of sh_t of a computer, make it work and call it an "E-machine"
because practically all they can do is open an internet browser and open an internet connection.
