RE:Any demand for the eMachines MSN Companion (modified 0 times) Chicago773 Profile | Email I would de interested - assuming it could run Terminal Services. $40 sounds about right. 09-26-2001 11:53:17

RE:Any demand for the eMachines MSN Companion (modified 0 times) osuuma Profile Lonny, That sounds cool, but I would be more interested in the Compaq MSN Companion IA-2. This seems to have the same main circuit board as the eMachines unit, only the IA-2 has a built-in 15" monitor. I would be willing to spend about $80-$100 for one of these to hack. Thanks for asking our opinions. 09-26-2001 22:03:32

RE:Any demand for the eMachines MSN Companion (modified 0 times) eschulz Profile I would definitely be interested in a couple at that price. 09-28-2001 12:47:41

RE:Any demand for the eMachines MSN Companion (modified 0 times) poisonfistclan Profile | Email i would be interested in a few as well thanks 10-01-2001 08:41:58

RE:Any demand for the eMachines MSN Companion (modified 0 times) JohnQPyro Profile Lonny, Do these units have an IDE header internally. Can a Laptop HD be installed..?? Thanks, JohnQPyro 10-01-2001 13:38:12

RE:Any demand for the eMachines MSN Companion (modified 0 times) jonnylbluejeans Profile Sub-$40? Yeah, definitely. 10-04-2001 11:07:25

RE:Any demand for the eMachines MSN Companion (modified 0 times) AudreyLover Profile | Email Guys and gals.... hold on to your seats.... here they come.... 10-05-2001 17:46:22

RE:Any demand for the eMachines MSN Companion (modified 0 times) skip Profile > Guys and gals.... hold on to your seats.... here they come.... Sounds good. When can we start placing orders ? Also, any chance of an 'early-adopter' discount to kick things off ? I'm sure once details of how to hack them into something usefull is posted on here you'll sell hundereds Skip. 10-07-2001 17:32:14

RE:Any demand for the eMachines MSN Companion (modified 0 times) sobac Profile | Email Good deal! Ready and waiting. :) 10-09-2001 10:06:54

RE:Any demand for the eMachines MSN Companion (modified 0 times) AudreyLover Profile | Email Hey guys... Just an update... Coming next week..... MSN Companion IA-1 (the Compaq unit with a GREAT keyboard and built-in LCD).. $99 NIB. The eMachines MSN Companions are coming too... with a price point of either $19.99 or $24.99. Keep watching..... 10-11-2001 16:22:24

RE:Any demand for the eMachines MSN Companion (modified 0 times) skip Profile Wa-hey ... I was beginning to think you'd forgotten about us ! 24.99 sounds good, 19.99 even better (how about 24.99 for one-off, and 19.99 for qty, eg multiples of 5) What sort of numbers are you expecting - presumably not as many as the Audrey ? (seem to remember reading there were 'thousands' of these) 99 for the IA-1 is also sweet. Are they new or refurbs ? Keep up the good work, Skip 10-11-2001 19:10:41

RE:Any demand for the eMachines MSN Companion (modified 0 times) AudreyLover Profile | Email The IA-1s are refurbs, but I got one (of course) and it was like new in the box. Also, they list several "approved" USB adapters, but I used a previously listed D-Link version which works great. Don't know what's gonna happen on the eMachines. We may get a "test" quantity, but according to MSN, there are some issues with the eMachines unit being reliable for use with MSN (like the people here care). We'll see what happens....
