Hi, while looking around in my local Amiga dealer (NOCOPRO in Willoughby,
Ohio) I found an interesting piece of advertisement put together by them
that lists how the Amiga is used in business. Here it is:

* Lucasfilms Graphic Co. uses the Amiga for all pre-production work.
* The Los Angeles Airport uses it for an information kiosk.
* Disney World uses hundreds of them for controlling animated displays.
* Over 800 cable television stations use Amigas for the Preview Channel,
video-titling, genlock and production work. (the largest market share).
* CNN Weather is done entirely on the Amiga along with many local weather
broadcasts.
* Entertainers such as B.B. King, Milli Vanilli, and Frank Zappa find it
invaluable.
* Wyse Advertising uses them for page layout/brochure creation.

* The Lynx game system's software is developed on the Amiga.
* They are used abundantly by Ohio State University, Harvard, MIT, UCLA, to
name a few.
* Atlanta's presentation to the National Olympic Committe was done using 
an Amiga (an IBM PS/2, NEXT, or Macintosh couldn't handle it).
