A colleague is looking for a suitable language to teach
her children simple programming concepts. A language
such as Logo would be ideal.
If you have any suggestions, please mail them to:

Apple bought a terrific company called Coral Software, mainly to get their implementation of Lisp. The company created a wonderful language called Object Logo fot the Macintosh, and it is the joy of my life. The last time I talked to an Apple representative about the status of Object Logo, I was told that any future release of the product under an Apple label would have to wait for the release of the Lisp system. The Lisp is out now (it's available through the Apple Program Developer's Association catalog), but there is no sign of Object Logo. Action: Call Apple (or APDA) and ask about it. Unfortunately, I don't have a number for the Apple representative here at my work desk... Jim McCauley Hewlett Packard Company, Cupertino CA jem@hpulpcu3.itg.hp

Edgar On the other hand, if you want something simple and cheap, try Viking Technologies' miniLOGO. This program was written by Ed Neu of Viking. They can be reached at: Viking Technologies The Travelers Block 174 Bellevue Avenue Newport, RI 02840 (401) 847-2455 This program came on their issue of UpTime Vol 2 #2, so I would think it would be quite cheap. It is SLOW, but it implements all of the necessary features in a Mac fasion, and its very inexpensive. (The Mag only costs $20.) -Russ -- Russ Donnan (415) 623-2121 Amdahl Corporation, Key Computer Laboratories, Fremont, CA, USA russ@key.amdahl.com, ...!{pacbell,sgi,amdahl}!key!russ -To capture the essence of an opinion takes but one lawyer.

You got the condensed version. Apple recognizes that Object Logo is a GREAT product, and that it is sorely missed in the marketplace. We do want to get it back out there for sale, and we are now dealing with some of the business issues. I am sorry for the long delay, and hope to have more concrete news before long. APDA does not have any further information on Object Logo. I will post a message when we have made some decisions.
