Robert;
You were given all the information on this group except specifics on a
particular OEM computer.
Apparently no one here was familiar with that model.
It may surprise you to know that this is not an Emachine group,
however we did try and help as well as make suggestions as a possible
source of the information you wanted.

In any case your desire to now call names to people shows the true
weakness of your character.
You apparently found a place of like minded people.
suggest you go there and keep each other company.

One last thing.
The descriptions you seem to so strongly place on us seems to fit you.
I suggest you read your own posts, you seem to forget what they say.

Good bye Robert.
No point in responding unless you like talking to yourself.
