Big grin It's... The countup!

The rules are simple:

- you post A NUMBER (higher to the one posted before ) with a somehow Amiga - and that specific number - relative BRIEF DESCRIPTION
(for example: "4096 - the number of colours available in the HAM mode" )

- EVERY 7th number (you know, 7-14-21-... ), you ONLY post an Amiga related picture/screen and it doesn't have to be that specific number relative

- if a person fails to do one of the above, we start from the beginning!

- if a person fails 3 times in one month, he or she is OUT for that and the next month

- the number can be written either as "1" or "one"

23 years ago (on the 23rd of July 1985) the Amiga 1000 was first presented to the public in the USA (without the then unpopular "Commodore"-writing).
