Then this thief unassumingly has no computer skills yet needs to get into the eMachine. Nothing.Īnyways I had set out to break this thing and I had a scenario in my head where a thief breaks in and decides stealing the eMachine trumps all other electronics. I wondered to myself, why can’t this happen to me?

Regardless, here’s a quote on eMachines from the king of credibility, Wikipedia… Any other computer I wanted to have normally died within a year. This computer is an eMachines… I use the present tense as to this day it still sucks dust.
