The product was purchased on 12/23/99 by my boyfriend, Philip Broske. It appeared to be especially inexpenseive because Emachines offered a $75 rebate. The rebate form said the rebate was good from 10/1/99 through 12/31/99. He mailed the form, proof of...

Pros: Best Value Around

Like most people these days, I'm buying a computer to upgrade.
I have several computers but, they always need to be upgraded.
