I've been told that the LOGO which Terrapin sells for the c64 (with a disk)
is just like their Apple version, which I'm rather impressed with.
Any comments out there from folks with any experience?

FYI, LOGO is a FAR superior alternative to BASIC for teaching anyone
about computers: it introduces graphics quickly and naturally, it
allows you to do structured/modular programming (like lisp or forth, etc),
etc.  Look in "Mindstorms" by Papert for more info (there's also a
"computer recreations" column in Scientific American on the graphics:
it appeared a few issues back).
It was developed by computer scientists/psychologists at MIT.

LONG LIVE LOGO!			QUICKLY DIE BASIC!
