I used to live in Minneapolis, Minnesota and there was a local religious channel, I think it was channel 53 that used OS1.3 Amigas.  Back in 1996 I remember being suprised one night while channel surfing when I saw the old 1.3 workbench screen with a dialog box saying, "Please insert disk in DF0:".  The funny thing was that you could hear the mass being conducted in the background.  It was a very spiritual experience.

More recently, in 2000, I was visiting the Minneapolis/Saint Paul International Airport and on one of the informational displays above a security checkpint was the "Insert Workbench" screen, exactly like adz' avitar.  It thought that it was pretty cool.

Nottingham Trent University still show an Amga in their prospectus for the multimedia.

Sensible people.

Our local Time Warner cable used Amigas for lots of things including program guides (Prevue technology), the local community news/events slide show with music, and titles for the council meetings.  Funny thing would be flipping channels and seeing a guru.  

Now they switched to NT/2000 and every once in a while I catch the CTRL-ATL-DELETE to login message.  I'm tempted to call up and tell them I can't find the CTRL, ALT or DELETE buttons on my remote.  :-D

since i've never seen an amiga 1200, it's not surprising i didn't recognise it.

Or an A500 for that matter eh? :lol:

Kinda O/T, but I was actually talking with a person (via email) in Queensland the other day, and he reckoned he worked for a company that still use A1200's, up to a 100 he said. Not sure how much truth was in that statement, but an Amiga setup of that magnitude thats still in use would be interesting to see.

There are a number of places in Aust. which use Amiga's, channel 31 (if you've heard of 'em use Amiga's with Scala for their titles

I saw a guru meditation on some airport here some few years back. The amiga was used for the info/advertise tv screens. I dunno if they still use it.
Also our biggest cabletv/satellite company telenor used scala with amiga some years back, but have now replaced it with a win9x pc running scala  :-(

I also know that quite a few info channels still use amiga+scala.

I think Amigas main aim should have been towards this users, to get some updated scala like software and some cheap and SMALL boxes to run it on. Amiga is still well respected in this areas, but this hardware is sadly old/dying and the software is getting outdated.. Once they die, they replace them with x86 boxes.

Looks like their using U-MATIC cases under it to promote trapdoor expansion cooling. :lol:

Gatwick airport (in the UK) has several A1200s in cabinets, which are running a children's edutainment program - touchscreen painting kinda thing.
The only reason I know that they're A1200s was that one of them was left at the purple boot screen :-)

That's cool!!

The Amiga in the photograph is NO DOUBT an A1200.
