eMachines T3642 Review

     The eMachine T3642 is an excellent and economical choice in upgrading to Vista. With the exception of the Iomega Parallel port Zip drive this offers excellent compatibility with most products used on previous versions of Windows~ I'm impressed. The speed of page changes while on-line is remarkable. Installation is smooth with easy to understand directions for those who are computer challenged.

   One issue I discovered which is NOT an eMachine isolated issue but a Vista compatibility issue is that the parallel port zip drives are not supported through the Windows Vista system. However, there may be a solution which enables the user to add an adapter cable (parallel to USB) from the Zip drive to computer. Then by downloading drivers (USB) from Iomega the user would supposedly be able to utilize the Zip drive.
