In comparing the MAC vs. the Amiga, I just thought I'd mention a couple items
which the Amiga offers which you should take into consideration:

- A true multitasking OS. I find this feature very important.
- Great graphics (fast!) AND NTSC compatibility.
- You can mail order a reconditioned one for alot less than the price
  you mentioned. This is a temporary advantage.
- The sidecar option (plugs into amiga and contains an IBM clone) gives
  you simple and effective total IBM compatibility (blek :-)).
- Lots of Public domain stuff in SOURCE form. Great for budding programmers.

Good luck on your choice !
