Like Maryam D'Abo maybe?   :-)

I heard this rumor over on rec.arts.movies, one of the posters over
there thought that he might have seen an Amiga in the backgound of 
Bond's HQ while 007 was talking to Q and Moneypenny. There was one
monitor that looked a bit like the A1080, but it was sitting on a very
large chassis that looked more like a cash register than an Amiga.

Maybe Commodore can get the Amiga a bit part in the next Bond flick. :-)
