In a previous forum thread a whole list of MSX related things came by. It gave me the idea for an MSX alphabet. The idea is the following:

• all descriptions must have to do with MSX
• choose a description closest to you what you feel or comes to mind first
• try to restrict your description to one word per letter (about 3 words maximum)
• no explanations are necessary

To start with, here's my MSX alphabet:
