Where is Amiga used today?

[Munchkin]

I know they're still used in video booths in some porn shops... :p

So, you're saying they came to a sticky end?

Why would he (or I) fib about such things?  -- I don't have images,

That was sarcasim.
Like many fishing stories, if ya didn't get a picture of you holding the fish, ya didn't catch the fish.

You've been in Bill Gate's office!  What do you do for a living?

I was helping to set up computers for the gov't and was taking a tour of Micro soft, Mr. Gates was trying to sell us Microsoft word at the time, and if you believe that I have some swamp land in Florida that I will sell ya. Actually saw it in a picture in a rag that was for Amiga, Micro soft was writing basic for the Amiga at that time.

Any whose. if I could get a chance to visit Micro soft I would probably burn it down.

Darn he saw through my fun.

By the way my Amiga 3000 does very well as a boat anchor, thank you

Some of the NASA Amigas were on eBay a year or two ago. That's not to say there aren't others they're still using, but I suspect NASA's Amiga era is over.

Long, long over.  I worked IT for Boeing at NASA (KSC) back in 2002 and was told that the Amigas had long since been removed from service.

(note however that NASA has Houston, Huntsville, Vandenberg and other locations where they might still have been in use)

i wonder how many are up in the atics, collecting dust. what a shame for the old amiga:confused:

I recently dug my A1200 out of my attic and dusted it off after about 8 years. It fired up OK but the hard drive was kaput so I replaced it with a CF kit. It has a Hawk memory board which I fitted in 1994 and would you believe that the RTC battery is still going strong and the clock had only lost around 10 minutes since I put it in the attic. Great machine and loving putting new stuff and games on it. So it is being used in my house in the UK.
 
I remember a game show in the UK called the Krypton Factor. The last in the series hosted by Gordon Burns was broadcast in 1995 and I was pleased to see they were using Amiga 1200s for a code cracking exercise.
