I've always been fascinated by people that used Amigas to help run their businesses. I'd love to hear any stories from people who either did this, or knew people that did. Especially, the software you ran, what you used them for, how reliable they were, for how many years you used Amigas and the hardware you used.

I used SuperBase Professional 4 to create a POS with customer name and mailing list facilities (they didn't want inventory numbers or inventory tracking) for a bookstore probably 20 years ago. It was pretty slick requiring no mouse input but I could have created easier mailing list automation and sales tracking info instead of using the default generic database SB4 facilities. The store ended up closing before the Amiga with POS was used. They used a C= SX-64 with good but rather limited custom software as POS before wanting to move to the Amiga.

More recently, I created a web site which was used by a business for several years. They still use some of the html and images I edited on the Amiga but the look has changed a lot.
