Versions of Logo for the Macintosh.
LCSI Logo (once also known as Microsoft Logo): no longer on the market.
(But perhaps the French language version is still available in Canada?)
Coral Object Logo: no longer on the market: Apple bought out the company.

Seems to be quit an old program: the brochure they sent me this spring
makes a point of saying: "Not limited to 128K!"

Also rather old. I got a copy this spring, it is version 1.0.
I can say from experience that it runs on a Mac IIcx
under System 6.0.5, however. Single-copy price $99.95. Multiple copy
deals and site licenses available.

Terrapin Logo is more like the LCSI syntax than the Terrapin syntax used in their Logo packages for the Apple II and Commodore computers. ($79.95) Terrapin Inc. 400 Riverside St. Portland, Maine 04103 207-878-8200 LogoWriter for the Macintosh is to be available from Logo Computer Systems, Inc. in the first quarter of 1991. Call 1-800 321-LOGO for more information. OBJECT LOGO is a more advanced package for the Mac available through Paradigm Software of Cambridge, MA. Version 2.5 has a suggested retail price of $149.00. Call (617)576-7675 for more information. This package comes highly recommended for serious Logo fan(atic)s. EXPERLOGO is available from ExperTelligence, Inc. It is a compiled Logo with 3-dimensional bunnies (everybody else has turtles...bunnies go faster). It also comes with a ProLogo implementation as well. The syntax is similar to the LCSI syntax but includes many other LISP features and commands. This is not an easy package to use; better suited for the more advanced user.

I've been trying to reply To: NU163467@vm1.nodak.edu but mail keeps bouncing. I was asked what LOGO is by Marshall of the above address. If there are errors, please correct since I am putting together some rather old recollections. LOGO is a language developed to encourage children to learn the logic of programming by programming graphics. It originated with child psychologists cum computer scientists (Piaget?) at MIT(?). It was popularized on the Apple computer in its heyday and taught to elementary age children back in the late '70s(when my son was in that age group). Because it made graphics easy young children could develop graphics applications more easily than programmers with powerful mainframes. It actually has a lot more power than programming graphics. One example in the Apple manual is a guessing game which can determine which animal the player has in mind.

I believe he was influenced by the ideas of Piaget. Papert also invented the LEGO construction blocks. An interesting book on turtle graphics is "Turtle Geometry" by Abelson and diSessa. They have a section in which they use turtles to explain the theory of relativity. What a concept. gort@cup.portal.com

Lego blocks are made by Dacta, a company in Denmark. Papert did work on a project which allows Lego blocks and the Logo language to be used together -- Lego Logo. This is now a product sold by Dacta. An interface card allows a micro- computer (usually an Apple IIe) to control the motors and receive input from sensors used with Lego Technic-style blocks. The control language is Logo. BTW, Lego Dacta funded a chair for Papert at MIT.

There was extensive coverage in the papers here when the "Lego chair" was endowed. Someone even built Papert a chair out of Legos for the occasion. -- Ephraim Vishniac ephraim@think.com ThinkingCorp@applelink.apple.com Thinking Machines Corporation / 245 First Street / Cambridge, MA 02142 One of the flaws in the anarchic bopper society was the ease with which such crazed rumors could spread.
