MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I have had an idea of how the members of afb list can make an advert for the Amiga. My idea is that each of the 800+ members of the afb sends a picture of themselves to Ben. When he has everyones mugshot a picture or a symbol (something Amiga) can be made out of all the seperate images, something similar to the E.T. BT billboards that can be seen around the UK at the moment can be made and attached to the outside of the AF office building. I am sure Ben would like to spend his dinner hour in the car park positioning the photos so that he can go on the roof and see his masterpiece from a distance (and probably see a gust of wind destroy it).
