I'll go you one better, Rick. I still have an Amiga 500 in service in our TV 
studio - it runs Broadcast Title off a floppy, and we use it generate 
special-item knock-offs of shows with special titling needs that aren't worth 
taking the time to take into an NLE or whatever - I exagerate slightly, in 
that I think it was last used several months ago, but, it was in weekly use 
up till then, and it's still in the production chain in one of our tertiary 
suites. 
I have often wondered where things might have gone if Commodore hadn't been 
run into the ground by horrible front office decisions - if that platform had 
gone through the development cycles that the Intel platform has been through, 
with its amazing architecture that was so far ahead of its time....
