My co-workers  exhibit a mix of disbelief,scepticism,and ridicule if I mention ANY computer other than some  recent,common PC/Wintel box  .
  I'm afraid mentioning Amigas  or anything  older than P4 Wintel  will cause IT people in my area  to regard you as un-professional.The IT people I've met at several different  major corporations are control freaks  determined to force everyone into a computing staitjacket,mostly because the fewer configurations of hardware and software ,the easier it is for IT to maintain those systems.

 I remember an Atari 800 was once used to schedule service calls and parts inventory for a large retailer's appliance department.
