Is the list updated to remove uses that are no longer in? I mean like how NASA sold off it's Amiga's a while ago and stuff.

Probably not, since the list is about past and present uses.

Great page!

I'd like to see jpg pictures on each item, but that was asking too much

I remember watching lot of Amigas in early 90's and also some soundtracker music (Yeah!.. Prince!)

Hmmm maybe a new Amiga will never come:angry:
At least never as an integrated machine, Just another bunch of components.

One you can add to the list - rock god (IMO) Andrew Eldritch of The Sisters of Mercy, on their website amongst a load of other stuff he lists:

"An Amiga 500 for, er, playing Amiga games on. The Amiga had revolutionary graphic capabilities, but I never did get round to Lightwave - too busy playing Gravattack. The 500 now sulks in a cupboard with the...

Yamaha C1."

He may not have it anymore, the site hasn't really been updated in a long while (like the band's setlist :( )

ISTR that the 80's music group "Information Society" used Amigas in their work...

I remember seeing some Amiga kit in one of their cassette fold-outs.  Anyone else??

[EDIT] Okay, so they're not just 80's music.  They're around, again.  Check 'em out http://informationsociety.us (sweet!)

if you look under *Specials*, you will find the  info I sent in (years ago) about AIFX, the company I worked at.

I can't complain about the time it took to get this update considering how long it took me to get MY CD out   :lol:

Some years ago there was one of these huge displays at the Anhangabau Valley in Sao Paulo, Brasil that had all of its animations made at an Amiga.
The display itself was controlled by a PDP-11, but all work was done at the Amiga.
It was one of the first displays here and was well known. It does not exists anymore, unfortunately  :-(

What about (german? italian?) band 16-bit? If i remember correct, they even had an Amiga 500 on one of their covers on one single...back in the 80´s
Maybe the song was "Changing minds" or "Where are you?"
