You've been in Bill Gate's office!  What do you do for a living?

Hi,

I know NASA isn't using them today, they replaced them with PC's back in 1999. I bought one of them back then, the reason NASA used them was because they were the only computer that would self start after a power outage. I also bought one from Pixar when they sold out on the Amiga's.

Anyhow

I have seen an Amiga 1000 in Bill Gates office, it is sitting on one of his office shelves, and I have also seen an Amiga in a junk yard, but I really don't know if it was being used or was there for another purpose. I know where I work they use the Amiga for a door holder and I have seen an Amiga 3000 filled with cement being used as a boat anchor.

Actually turns out we did have one running a kiosk board here at the Uni, but it was replaced by a Mac Mini when they replace the tube TV with a flat panel one a few years back.

I tried to track it down and it was either taken home by somebody or thrown in a dumpster, nobody really knows, it was written off long ago and so had no "value" and didn't need to be accounted for.  Who knows maybe it's in a closet someplace but it's not my department.
