Back in the day when I worked at an Amiga dealer, we had a number of customers doing videos on Amigas... we even did a few ourselves, including a commercial for the store than ran on local TV. Kinda crude, since it was done in Videoscape in the pre-Toaster days. ;-)  
We did have a customer who did 3 weekly newspapers - one of those mainly classified ad freebies - using Amigas. They used a couple of 3000s for designing display ads, and a 2000 to manage the classifieds. I wrote them a CanDo deck to manage the ads. All the ads went into a database and when they went to press it would print a file for each paper in some word processor format containing just it's ads. Good times. ;-)
