emachines power behavior
Most computers I have owned were set up so they would come back on right away after a power failure. If the power went off and on 50 times while you were away, the system would go off and on 50 times, doing who-knows-what kind of damage. The exception was my Hewlett Packard. When the power went out, the HP would stay off until I specifically turned it back on. I thought this was a very nice feature. Does anyone know how the emachines are set up? Will it go off and come on 50 times, or will it stay off like the HP? Thanks. Bob C. It's normally a BIOS option. Every machine
