There's one piece of Atari Falcon history that most here are probably not aware of.

Twelve to fifteen years ago Pitney-Boes used to Falcon to control a huge (50+ feet long) envelope stuffing machine. They covered the Atari name on the CPU that I saw, but not on the monitor.

Around 2002 (I think) a Kansas City Amiga/Atari dealer told me the the company had come to him trying to find more systems. They still couldn't get a PC to reliably do the same job. Plus, the Falcon saved the job record / instructions to a floppy vs gosh-knows-what for the PC.
Best,
