I 'spose that may be why the E-machine 'puters at the scrapyard are

With all the HP computers that were built with the same motherboards
and power supplies?

HP's used Bestec too? damn, that's too bad. Back in the eighties when
I worked on medical gear it seemed that HP's equipment was some of the
most robust (but of course, usually more expensive, too).


I had someone bragging about how much better his HP computer was,
than the eMachines computer sitting by my bench. I opened both. They
were both shipped with the same motherboard and power supply. The same
brand of CD-ROM drive and amount of RAM. Both had a 3.5" floppy drive.
Neither were cheap crap. He paid over twice the price of the emachines
computer for the same hardware.
