Macs and beers, now that's quite a combination (as long as you don't mix them) now that's what I call funny!
BTW, good list Dan........I also liked the 6400, a close cousin to the 6500 (I had both).

Oh, I also don't see how the LC580 gets on the all in one list but the 575 doesn't. The monitor used in the 580 is junk compared to the one in the 575.

Oooo, this is just a list and as such could help first time buyers plenty. But I do have a 7200 and with the Sonnet 400Mhz g3 it is quite mighty, cheap to buy and fun to use.
wall a.k.a The Defender Of The Holy 7200
