     It sure is important.  You claimed that replacing the computer but =
keeping the case is the keeping the same computer.  You really do need = to
have a firm basis in reality if you want to make a point.

     The choice you continue to whine about is one made by emachines.  =
You should be whining to them.  But of course no one expects you to.  = You
will likely continue to whine.

         If you are unhappy with emachines, whine to emachines.
