There is indeed a LOGO for the C-64, and it is excellent. It is a full
version of the language (none of the dopey "turtle graphics" stuff - it's
got recursion, takes full advantage of color, sound, etc.).
It comes with a nice, well-written manual, that serves also as a good
tutorial. A wonderful software product - they even try to make error messages
meaningful to kids. They also provide an extra disk with demos, sprites and
music.

A best buy, even at full list price of 50 bucks (I mail-ordered it first from
an Indianapolis department store called Service Merchandise. The creeps 
advertised it for 35, but didn't have it - after a 5-week wait I got a letter
that it is temporarily out of stock.)

If you have any children, by all means get it. There is no comparison between
the learning opportunities afforded by LOGO and by basic (no upper case letters
deserved).
