Hmm, I'm still on this mailing list.. I thought I unsubscribed a long while

Anyhow, I think you should consider porting it to Black & Decker toasters.
People have always joked, "NetBSD will run on your toaster." And B&D is an
ideal choice 'cos it's cheap. 'Course I'd assume you'll have to make an
investment in a set of Dremel tools & some ARM-based (or whatever) board.
Just think of the possibilities!
