Hyperion was showing AmigaOS 4.1 with a WebKit-based browser and stuff like that, and runs on a bunch of wacky hardware there's also AROS which is an AmigaOS 3.x reimplementation that runs on a bunch of more common hardware and also Raspberry Pi 2 and such

I played around with AROS for a bit. Let's not pretend the Amiga-esque OS's complete and total lack of memory protection is fun to deal with in the Space Year 2015

When he emailed the place he got it from they said that they dumped it all because it didn't sell. Since then he hasn't bothered. Also he uses office regularly these days and I don't know what stuff the new AmigaOS has on that front. Also I've played with AROS and at least as of a couple years ago it mostly didn't work.

when Commodore UK sponsored Chelsea football, they'd have to make additional payouts when Chelsea won so they wound up hiring a bunch of people to place synchronized bets in a variety of towns against Chelsea to limit their exposure, since it was cheaper than actually buying insurance the bets were synchronized so the bookmakers couldn't change the odds in response to the bets: there was about a 10-minute lag between a large bet and the odds changing, which they exploited

A friend of mine in elementary school had a bunch of Amigas for some strange reason. The games looked pretty sweet back then. I later found out that his father did local TV ads and used Video Toaster which was amazing to see as a 10 yr old.
