Minimig Review completed!
« on: February 29, 2008, 10:00:28 AM »
Hi,

I have completed my review of the Minimig. Part two with more screenshots, comments, verdict and an initial list of working software is online.

I have also started working on a case for the Minimig, if anyone is interested please pm me.

Could someone please link my review to wikipedia for me?

I have worked on the site until 2 a.m., I am absolutely exhausted!

Enjoy!

Is the moving NEXT button some sort of interactive game?

Well done, great pictures!

...and, shoot, well now I *have* to find the last components for my Minimig.  I'll go hunting for a Spartan-3 right now. :-)

Cool review... Very well done!

The pictures really go to show what it looks like in the metal  and what it can do - very nicely put together!

Cheers,

Mike.

Thank you. If and when I recover from the tiredness I will try and clean the site up a bit.

I can never understand why people turn the date and time "feature" on with a digital camera, its distracting, annoying and outright pointless as all that data (and more) is stored in the images exif :-x

Thanks straycat,

Not tested on TFT yet but I know already that it works and the quality on both my 19" CRT and TFT is very good. :-)
