I am looking to buy the LOGO language to teach my son (now 3 yrs old) some object-oriented thinking (any programming he learns along the way is a side benefit). I presently own a 64k Z-80 based CP/M system, with a terminal and SSSD 8" drives (IBM std fmt). I am not aware of any LOGO implementations for generic CP/M - due (I think) to the fact that LOGO is a very graphics oriented language and most generic CP/M programs assume only a dumb terminal as a console. So I am prepared to buy a cheap (less that $200) computer to run LOGO. The August 1982 issue of BYTE mag was all about LOGO. At that time LOGO was available for the TI 99/4A, the Apple II, and the TRS COCO (the last being just announced). Is it now available for other machines? ANYONE WITH ANY EXPERIENCE or RECOMMENDATIONS on ANY VERSION OF LOGO, *PLEASE* MAIL your reviews to me. Please give specific about bugs, exceptionally good features, etc. Also, I understand that SMALLTALK is good as an extension of LOGO; that is, Smalltalk picks up where LOGO leaves off, Smalltalk might be good for those who have mastered LOGO and are ready for bigger and better... Obviously, a machine that can run both LOGO and Smalltalk would be optimal. Thanks in advance for your replies. < Nelson Bolyard > ..!decvax!decwrl!amd70!packet!nbb
