The local TAFE used to use them for their advertising displays.  Think they used MMC.

I believe there are aircraft still in service in the RAAF which have A2000s as their onboard computers.

Here in Canada they actually had an Amiga 500 running a car battery selection kiosk in Wal-Mart. These units had a touch screen attached and booted the software from a floppy disk. It was pretty easy to peek through the little padlocked flip door and see the A500 inside. The local TV station also used Amiga 4000s and 2000s with Scala and a SuperGen SX for local programming. They even had a dedicated unit for a 24 hours information and news scroller that would go along the bottom of the screen.
