I don't know of places that specialize in board hosting (they exist, I
just don't pay attention to them).  I'm generally not too interested in
using those sites (even though they're usually free) since their main
purpose is to capture viewer information and sell advertising.  I'd
rather pay a small amount for something whose contents are under my own
control.

There are a huge number of places that will sell you very cheap
full-fledged virtual servers on which you can run blogs or whatever else
you want.  lowendbox.com is a good place to look for those, and you can
get a nice one for 1 or 2 dollars per month.  But, you need a bit of
knowledge to run such a server, and the very cheap services don't offer
a lot of support (that's why they are so cheap).  So you have to decide
if you're ready to deal with that.

That was sort of a joke.  There is a guy who keeps asking about that
but discussions with him never seem to go anywhere.

I think a bunch of us have looked at the MISC stuff just out of interest
in what Chuck has been up to, but the capabilities of the current chip
are so constrained that it's quite hard to find practical target
applications.  Maybe you are the one who will come up with the great
idea that the rest of us have missed.  Or maybe a future GA chip will be
easier to develop with and that's when good applications will appear.
Or maybe, as you say, the whole thing will never take off.
