And in that same year you could get a sub-$600 machine that could do more than that C64 or Mac: the Atari 520ST! :)
of course the Amiga could do more than all 3 machines, but it cost even more than the ST (but nowhere near the cost of a Mac.)

One thing about the Atari ST is that it was considered the real successor to the Commodore 64 because Jack Tremiel was behind it. Nicknamed the Jackintosh with the Magic Sack software it could run Mac software with a Mac ROM chip on a dongle.
