     Comments     : This  is  a  demo  with  rotating  3-D graphics. After
                    a  number of reboots  a  black  screen  with  'AMA' in
                    large  red  vector  graphics  is rotating.

                    In  some  copies  the Amiga LED  will  flash  30 times
                    simultaneuously  while the above display alert pop up.
                    The counter is definitely increased  so the demo  will
                    run  after this number  of reboots  during  every  new
                    reboot.

                    In  the Graffiti bootblock you can read VIRUS! written
                    by  Graffiti  in ASC II text. After infection you will
                    get the following DisplayAlert:
