Unusual Amiga applications and software

[Jeff]

As probably almost everyone here knows, the Amiga has had lots of "behind the scenes" roles over the years. Here are a few of the ones I can think of off the top of my head. Has anyone played with some really cool unusual Amiga software?

Airport display/information terminals (TWA for example used A4000T's - I have one)
Casino's used 1200's for Keno and ?
Nasa used Amiga's on the shuttle program as well as ?
Cable TV's Prevue channel as well as lots of behind the scene Toaster use
Movie Studios - probably mostly Toaster and Lightwave in the early days
Medical applications
Dental applications

I know I have only listed a few. Any lists been compiled anywhere? Does anyone collect this kind of stuff?

Cheers

Cool Stuff! That reminds me they were used in Laser control applications also.

I receve any A4000 from plastic surgeon, then in the HD has any Patients Database Aplication, and other to modify images, you know, had pictures of patients boobs, nouses, scars, and others.

Someone I met at a local Amiga dealer many years ago bought cadavers and sliced up frozen cross sections to be imaged in to some sort of medical school app. He said he used Amiga's exclusively although we didn't get in to the software. Not sure that job would work for me.

Years ago a local medical imaging lab used A4000T's equipped with CS MK III's and CS PPC's for their work. They had LOTS of systems in place all fully loaded. They upgraded to PC's and all the Amiga's had to be destroyed do to corporate policy. We tried everything to get them to make an exception but they all got trashed.
