Yeah, if I recall, last time we had this thread
someone brought up Forth being
used in a Lotus.
Ummm, that's Lotus the British sports car company, not Lotus the software

Hmmm, maybe that was me. In the mid '90s I worked for the company which
made the dashboard for the Elise, and it is indeed based on a 68HC11
running Forth. The company is 'Stack' (http://www.stackltd.com) - now
you see where the name comes from. See
