 HK> Mark,
 HK> It seems that LOGO has become a hot topic. It is very interesting
 HK> that you can remember using it in early highschool on a commadore
 HK> 64. I remember using those ancient machines. We use the program on a
 HK> Macintosh computer. Even though the computers have a reputation for
 HK> being easy to use, the children find it difficult to master the
 HK> commands necessary to move the turtle only one centimetre!! Some
 HK> kids would put in commands, expecting the turtle to move in a
 HK> certain direction, and it would do something completely different.
 HK> It was difficult to not be amused at the confusion on their faces.
 HK> Alot of ground work on simple directions such as left right, forward
 HK> and back, was necessary before even working on the computer ( alot
 HK> of 6 - 12 year olds do not even know their left from right)
 HK> Anyway it also helps kids to appreciate computer technology, and the
 HK> specifity of commands necessary to operate them.
 HK> Thanks,
 HK>         Heather.

I hope you didnt post this here for my benefit... because I've already read 
and replied to it....  If it was just for general interest, it should have 
been addressed to ALL and not me... I scan this area but I do not download it 
so mailing here is annoyying... ? :-)
Mark.
