Actually, you can max the 6100 series at 136mb. That with a 256k L2
and MacOS 8.5 is a good solid system. The new Internet connect software
is very easy for a beginner to install. I have seen 6100 w/15 in
monitor in the $300 range. Communicator 4.5 has a built in e-mail that
is decent. MacOS 8.5 will install MSIE 4.0 and the Outlook mail
client. I personally don't care for Outlook; however, it is a fair
program.
