I was at the Disney MGM studios last week and spotted a few Amiga
2000's at work!  I spotted what looked like a 2000 being used to
produce the titling for Divorce Court.  However, what really drew
my attention were the 2 Amigas used to control the microphone levels
and sound effects at the Indiana Jones' attraction.  For those of
you who haven't been to the studios yet, they've set up a reenactment
of several scenes from Raiders of the Lost Ark: the starting scene
(including the boulder chase!), the fight scene at the market, and the
scene where the plane and fuel truck are destroyed---quite impressive!

Afterwards I talked with the people controlling the set and found out 
that they obtained the software from a Canadian company (sorry, I forgot
the name).
