eMachine - Never Obsolete Sticker - eMONSTER
« on: October 24, 2017, 11:36:42 AM »
Was watching youtube video and this sticker caught my attention, so I went on the hunt for the webpage that they referenced this from and found this.

eMachines - "This computer is NEVER OBSOLETE"

In fine print though you need to pay a fee to keep the non obsolescence from happening.  ::) ;D $19.99 per month to be part of the network program and $99 every 2 years is how they worked this one.

Never knew that this eMonster existed. I wonder how it worked out for the people upgrading every 2 years if they were in fact given the worlds best gaming system every 2 years. And who determined what was the worlds best?  :-\ ::) ;D

I think that might be one that actually got upgraded? The original was from 1999 was based around an original (P2 Era) 500Mhz Celeron, so perhaps this is the "upgrade" from 2001?
