In a recent interview with John Scully he mentioned in effect that the release
of the new cheap Mac's was their way of saying they are going after the home
market.  This marketing stradegy is going to get them into the public school
class rooms like it did for them with their Apple machines.  I don't want to
see another OS9 machine like the COCO was get beached for the likes of the
Apple just because of marketing or lack of it.

The education market is ripe with a renewed national concern about our youth
being prepared to compete on the world market. 

One of the best all around educational software products on the market I
believe is the LOGO language.  The best of the lot is LCSI's "Logowriter".  It
runs on the Apples, IBM PC's and a soon to be released version for the Mac's. 
Another outfit is Piradigan that sells, believe it or not, a OPPS Logo.  It is
the only language/enviornment sold today that was designed from the ground up
to nourish the intellect.  It is being written into the North Dakota Teachers
Guidelines that all students by grade 6 should have experienced Logo.  This is
to go into effect by 1991.

Once upon a time Tandy had a OS9 version of Logo called DL LOGO. 

Put one of these software products on the MM1 and I can sell my public school
on the MM1 period.
