I like this idea! One of the things I love about the Amiga is the
beautiful pictures that get created on it. I've collected just about
every picture I've had my hands on, and there are some that I would maim
to get.

I'm the libriarian of the local user's group and would be very
interested in seeing this happen. Why stop at pictures, how about
sound/music files too? 

The biggest problem with getting Amiga art distributed is the sheer
size of the files. A centralized, floppy based distribution seems to be
the ideal answer. Any volunteers? :-)
