This is the funniest (and most accurate) description of Ikea ever:

Anyway, I'd love to see a screenshot or video of this Amiga ad!

This site seems connected, maybe somewhere on it is buried the Amiga...

I just saw it on TV too, and yes, that is indeed an Amiga 2000. Must be some retro geek working somewhere in their advertising agency! I cant imagine that an A200 just happened to be the first thing to show up in an image search for "beige computer"...

I have a Northgate keyboard on my A2000 with similar looking F keys at the top. It has other odd keys on the side though... but it could be some other third party keyboard that can work on PCs or Amigas depending on toggle settings.
