Boy, I hope you are right about e-machines. 

I had two of them, and both took a dive within few months of owning them. One, 5 years ago a week after I got it, the other just last summer, about 3 months into having it. It could be a streak of bad luck, I suppose.

Of all the other computers I had at home and at work (probably a three dozen) those were the only two that took a dive.... and to be fair my neighbors brand new HP came with a hard drive defect three years ago.
