ATTENTION: LOGOPHILES
 
YOUR OPINION, ADVICE, EXPERIENCES WITH LOGO IN GENERAL AND APPLE LOGO
IN PARTICULAR...
 
   1. IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE SUPERIOR TO BASIC AND PASCAL AS A
      BEGINNER'S TEACHING LANGUAGE.  FOR WHAT AGE RANGES? K TO 6?
      HIGH SCHOOL? ADULT ED?
 
   2. BASIC AND PASCAL ARE ALSO USED FOR A FAIR AMOUNT OF "SERIOUS 
      PROGRAMMING".  DO YOU SEE THAT TYPE OF CAPABILITY IN LOGO
      (AND/OR IN APPLE LOGO)  OR IS IT MERELY A SET OF "TRAINING
      WHEELS" THAT YOU REMOVE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE?
 
   3. WHAT ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LOGO AND LISP.  WHAT IS 
      THAT RELATION? WHAT IS THE FUTURE OF LISP?

I would like recommendations on a nice inexpensive book that explains LOGO
to me, so I can make my own opinion.  Of course, I also await the results
of mb2b!pfc's survey.

    By the way, turtle geometry is no big deal.  You can program it in BASIC.

By the way, BASIC is no big deal.  You can program it in assembler.

By the way, assembler is no big deal.  You can program it in microcode.

Has anyone heard of or seen a Logo for the IBM-PC? Any pointers would be 
appreciated.
