I am currently in the process of buying a personal computer.  I have
narrowed myself down to either a Mac or an Amiga, due to personal
preference, software availability, and flexibility.  But I can't seem
to decide what would be my best decision.  All my Mac friends scream,
"Buy Mac!!!"    My Amiga friends retort, "Don't be silly!  Amiga is
state-of-the-art." 
     So I ask, what do you people think is the better of the two, and
why?  As far as price goes, the deals I have are:

Mac-plus:   Est. $1550 for Mac (1 meg memory), Imagewriter II printer,
            and second drive
Amiga:      Est. $1650 for Amiga, Expansion board (512 k), color
            monitor, and second drive   (printer not in deal-- est.
            another $450 or so) 

I would appreciate some as-unbiased-as-possible opinions on what my
best deal is.

Please E-mail your responses to me, and I will tally up the responses
and post what the general majority opinion is.
