I use my 6500 all the time, even though I have a dual 500 G4 and MacBook sitting right in front of meThanks! I think you mentioned you've been using your 6500 more lately, right?Nice score! The 6500's a nice machine for OS 9. I have a 6500/225 and absolutely love it. The only pesky thing about it is the 128 meg RAM limit, which also pretty much keeps it an OS 9 machine. It's still nice though
I have actually wanted a 6500 since 1997. Like the 8/9600, I couldn't afford it back then and was stuck on a 6100/60 and 8100/80. Now I have both(too bad I was 10 years late...)
The sad part is, she was blazing fast when she came out. Now everyone talks about how limited the entire 5/6xxx line was.
Well, they are limited by todays standards. However, in the context of their time, they were fairly nice. The 6500/300 was the first computer (Mac or PC) to hit 300MHz
The only thing that I find limiting in any way is the 128 meg RAM limit. Other than that it's a fantastic machine. Oh, and by all means, put a larger HDD in it. You'll find yourself using it alot, and it's bound to get filled up quickly
