Atmel's Tiny-11 is $0.25 More or less the same thing, more mips, less
internal cruft.

I have code on my web page for a noise generator, and some other functions.

I agree about having some part of AofE talk about using processors in place
of conventional circuitry. I recently did a small repeater controller
(2-way radio) in a tiny-11. Very slick, only a few discretes.

There's a lot of things that I've done in the past with TTL or 4000 logic
that I would wrap up in an AVR today, and gain features, shrink the board,
and shrink the cost!

You don't have to be all that processor-specific about it either.
Pics, AVRs, 340s, Z8s, all have a clock, timers, and I/O pins, after all.
