Odd Places / 2014-10-01 09:57:22
Thanks to its graphic and multi-task capabilities, the Amiga found its way in verious places and is still used/remembered fondly by its users. Here are some odd places where the Amiga could/can be found...
Grand Hotel Haeundae, Busan, Korea, in 2004
In 2004, I had the chance to attend the 11th Asia-Pacific Software Engineering Conference (APSEC 2004) in Busan, Korea. The conference took place at the Grand Hotel Haeundea (해운대그랜드호텔, 부산, 대한민국) and I stayed there for convenience... and what a surprise, when browsing the TV channels, to find the hotel advertisement with an Amiga pointer!

OpenSubtitles.org, in 2012
In 2012, I was looking for some subtitles on OpenSubtitles.org and, for some unknown reason, the Web application or the server crashed with a message that includes: "Guru Meditation"... Someone running this Web site must have some nostalgia!

Nintendo DSOrganize , in 2014
I found somewhere in the Internet this photo of a Guru meditation in the Nintendo DSOrganize software! Can't recall where I found it and it could be a fake but who knows... ![](http://www.chingu.yann-gael.gueheneuc.net/wiki/FCKeditor/editor/images/smiley/msn/wink_smile.gif)

U.S.A. Central Intelligence Agency, in 1980s
Apparently, the CIA bought Amiga-based computer systems to analyse photos... Incredible, isn't it?
