Duke's post was great humor. Your post was pure fud. You cannot support your statements concerning either Gateway or EMachines with facts and you know it.

"Why did you feel you had to make up that comment? Did" I was merely pointing out, by analogy, what makes your first post, humorous. To extrapolate such a broad rule from such a small sample population as you have, is funny. But if I just said that, it would not be funny. But if I show by a ludicrous, obviously unbelievable analogy, and compare it to your statement, the human mind after comparing the two, then sees the incongruity in a non-threatening manner which it does find, "funny". Sometimes the ability to view obliquely is much more convincing logic. Issac Asimov, the science fiction author, did a lot of work in this area, years ago. If you are interested: amazon.com
