We surely do. I had my A4000 set up there with a very busy workbench
running on my Iiyama VM Pro monitor, and people kept glancing at it as
they went by, then stopping and coming back to figure out what the
hell I was running :) As my Power Tower didn't have "Amiga" on it
anywhere, they just had to ask, and we had lots of ex-Amigans own up
to still having their Amigas at home, and not realising how far the
Amiga had come, or where it was going.

One interesting thing was when a group of lads said,"It looks nice,
but what can it do that my PC can't?" - and I said, "This!" - and
switched it off, with everything still running. There were horrified
looks all round, then I switched it back on, and WB booted as usual,
to their suprise.

It turned out to be our best demo :-)
