Yes, Forth was part of the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) firmware system. Here's an interview that illuminates this a bit more: http://howsoftwareisbuilt.com/2008/03/27/interview-with-mitch-bradl...
Also, there are a series of 24 Forth tutorials related to OpenFirmware on the OLPC site: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Forth_Lessons
Is OLPC dead, or does it just smell funny?

Have Oracle and IBM moved away from it? Or, was it never really updated to work beyond regular PCI? I'm pretty sure it's used for the OLPC XO.
