[] 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). janos simon
