Slightly OT I know, but it can be an interesting experience to get 
something running on a Parallax BS2  - its programmed in P-coded integer 
BASIC with room doe maybe 200 lines of code and has 32 bytes of RAM, 
which includes the memory-mapped I/o ports However, at least to can store 
constants in the flash memory that holds the user code. If you think it 
out appropriately you can do more than you can expect, not least because 
variables can be 1,2 or 8 bits in length.

I've not (yet) used one, but I'd imagine that using a PICAXE chip would 
be quite similar.
