(This info was related to me by a friend who's really into audio stuff.)

A maker (Sensheimer? Soundheim?  It was a European company whose name
I've forgotten ) of *very* expensive cordless microphones ($10k *each*)
has software for the amiga that will control 16 or so of their microphones.
Each mike transmits on two frequencies, and the recieving hardware checks
to see which frequency has the best sound quality, etc etc etc.  Their
controlling software runs on the Amiga (instead of the Mac :-) because
it can keep up in realtime with a *bunch* of different inputs.

I mention this so that Amigoids can tell their "Mac rulez" friends
that in the *real* world of audio/visual production and performace,
the Amiga is very useful. :-P

If anyone is interested in the specifics of this software/hardware,
I can ask my friend for all the gory details.
