I have the opportunity to purchase one of the following two systems for about the same price, when you throw in the monitor on the 6500. There don't appear to be very many differences, save a couple of small ones. I am more concerned with anyones experiences with the units good or bad - reliability, hardware problems and so on. I am leaning towards the 6500 because of the zip drive and the bigger monitor I can buy. I have also read some very good things about the 5500.
Any opinions and comments are appreciated. Thanks in advance. -Keith-
