yeah they were horrible, could barely run anything. I always remember the sticker on the front of it "you'll never have to upgrade again!"
My dad would get deals on them because he would pay for like a years worth of internet service up front so we'd either get the emachines pc for dirt cheap or practically free. so depending on the deal that was being run we'd end up switching ISPs like every year. MSN, AOL, Prodigy, etc.
i've still got an 'emachines' here. granted, nothing inside is original anymore, except the optical with the curved silver bezel. has an am3 board in it now (originally a barton core on nvidia chipset). i keep it around because it has ide ports.. and yes, i do use those. had to dig it out twice in the last month.
