[comp.edu] Quest for LOGO package

Hi,

I would like to get the ``LOGO'' system for our children to work with.
Given that we have an XT clone and an Apple IIGS, I know there are
some packages out there that will work.  However...

I have looked in all the local computer software stores for ``LOGO''
without success.  I have been offered label makers and font builders as
alternates :-) My six year old doesn't understand the humour involved.
The only clue I have been given is that it is educational software so
I should try an educational software company.  I haven't been
successful in locating an educational software company either.  So I
have questions for the net:

1.  Where [and how] did you get your LOGO packages?

2.Is there a comparison of the available products for LOGO so I can
select what is best for my family?

3.  And last, in the spirit of Dr. Kemeny's TrueBASIC, have Dr. Papert
and colleagues any plans for developing a TRUE LOGO?

Replies by E-mail, I will summarize if there is volume or interest enough.

Appreciatively,
Graham
