"Eloraam calls it the 65EL02, because "it supports all the 6502, 65C02, and part of the 65C816 instruction set" as well as "a set of completely new instructions and two addressing modes." Since the 65EL02 is an 8-bit CPU, Eloraam didn't have as many options for programming environments as we have on today's 64-bit computers. While it's possible to program the 65EL02 in assembly language, for general use she chose to implement a Forth interpreter. Further technical information about RedPower Control's 65EL02 is available on Eloraam's blog RP Control Internals, and on the RedPower wiki's page for Red Power Control."

Yeap you heard me right :). I work Help Desk for this company, and in my 'Spare Time', I'm building databases and writing code in Lotus Notes. Theres nothing that breaks your train of thought quite like "Yes, Hi, I forgot my password for the 3rd time today, Sorry!!" and "The power just went off and so did my computer, is that normal?".

I started doing a little software development for my company (when I was hired to do help desk), and I was once asked to write a procedure for that. How do you write code. I replied -- Step 1) Go to college for 4 years and get a computer science degree.

Just an example. I don't know what hash function they use exactly, might even be proprietary.
