Video: Forgotten Town - A story of early German Hardcore Techno
The video documentary "Forgotten Town - A story of early German Hardcore Techno" (vimeo link) tells the story of the origins of the scene magazine "Hakke" (webarchive link), which was produced in Chemnitz (Germany) in the 1990s . All issues of the magazine were produced with an Amiga 4000 from 'JaDe'.
Almost all productions of the Borschtsch project, such as Get High, were also produced with the Amiga: initially with the Oktalyzer, later productions then with OctaMED Soundstudio and various MIDI devices.
All the background music in the film is produced by Borschtsch and on the Amiga. (dr)

New York Post illustrates Citibank accounting error with Amiga 2000
The New York Post illustrated the fact that Citibank recently made a false entry of 81 trillion US dollars with the photo of an Amiga 2000 with a 1084S monitor - presumably not coincidentally alluding to inadequate control software.
User comments on Reddit at the title link suggest therefore that the bank should switch to more modern computer equipment - such as a CD³². (snx)
