You use your Amiga for booting-up because it's faster at this than a different PC?

I imagine you must be right but if booting is mainly what you do then why not use a calculator or an x-box or something that boots even faster?

The local bowling-hall uses Amiga's for score-keeping. Me? I have to admit that every now and then I fire-up WinUAE for a blast of the past. I felt a little annoyed that it didn't run Oldtimer the way I hoped it would... ;-)

I think I have seen that.  Is it for the animations when you get a strike/spare/etc?

The psudo sci-fi computer displays here use an Amiga and scala (I think they have been there for 20 years):
