Lets compare the Mac Classic with A C64 running Geos. I will Say the Mac is a bit faster however the price/preformance of the C64 still beats it. Mac Classic $800 -(A mediating value) C64 with Geos and a 3 1/2'' Drive will cost around $250. The C64 also gives you more expansion with the Cartridge and User Ports. You also cannot discount the fact that the C64 comes ready with Basic!!! Paul Amiga@walt.utexas.edu .....Paul...... I like boats, their healthier than valium. Cost more tho.
