The appliance of science

I already linked to a C64 being used to display bus times in Brisbane, but here is a more eggheady-type use for a Commie:

C64s are also reputed to still be in use as weather stations in schools, etc. Plus I also know of a recent European sex beast who logged his crimes on a 64, an action which ground the police computer-breakers to a standstill because they didn't know how to load data from a 1541!

Pity I can't find the link any more, but here's a BBC gallery on Commodore computers instead:

Anyone else know of some interesting uses for a Commodore 64 today?
