The Minimig is essentially our chance to do what amiga and ack so far has failed to do, hardware.
I must agree with Mike: The single most important reason, in my mind (other than all the other "duh" reasons already given). Also closely followed by another: Dennis wanted to do it, and just because he could, he did. Congrats to Dennis and his brilliant skillz! I'm very happy to know that one part of the future of the Amiga is in a TRUE AMIGAN'S hands, finally!
Oh, and one little comment for the impatient people ("not useful since it's so weak", or "I'd rather have a 10Ghz Amiga with all the bells and whistles"):
Clue #1: Dennis ain't making it just so you'll have your NeXT-GEN Amiga. Look to Amiga Inc. (hard laughter) for that. He's doing it for fun and for himself primarily, not you. Stop thinking of yourselves.
Clue #2: without crawling, you won't have walking, so either shut your whining (to put it mildly) and/or help Dennis and the other folks out so that your 10GHz Amiga comes sooner rather than later! And remember: you've waited since 1993-4 until 1997-8 for a more powerful Amiga (PPC), so why don't you give these guys the same amount of time and then come back and look at MiniMig. You might just be surprised!
