Well, I don't know how you can call the system software on the mac "really
bad". It is much better presented than the crap workbench (which I use on
my a500 at home...) that C= supply with the amiga.
  I'm not going to  debate the merits of the hardware, but commodore have
_never_ beaten macintosh in terms of quality of software shipped with the
box, or software they make available for the box...
