Where is Amiga used today?

Skilgannon suggested that we start this thread, so I'll do so here.  (Maybe such a thread already exists?)  Anyway, I'll place the first entry......

Bowlero Lanes (bowling ally), Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.  A3000 and A4000 for automated scoring system.

Pictures please....  I mean, really, without pictures, it's just a story. :p

I live in the USA.  I sold my 1950-B monitor on eBay to a Canadian user that runs the bowling ally there.   He told me that they needed one to replace another 1950-B that stopped working.  Why would he (or I) fib about such things?  -- I don't have images, but you can make a phone call to that bowling ally to inquire for yourself whether Amiga computers are still used for their scoring system.  But when you ask them for images as proof, they may hang up on you.

Why would he be in the hunt for another 1950 monitor to replace the old one?  Any VGA monitor will work on the 3000!

Way back when they had the system set up, it was modified in some way and the VGA port no longer could be used -- at least that's what he said (but he didn't know the details).  They were using the RGB port with an adapter, ironically on an Amiga 3000.  The person that bought it from me knew little about Amiga and was not there when the systems were originally set up.  Why a 1950?  Probably because they were looking for a duplicate of what they had working previously.
