OK, I'm dating myself here, but, I was taught at the very last year at 
my university where "punch cards" were still being used, and I used to 
chat on beasts that spewed paper instead of drawing on monitors, way 
back in 1976. I studied FORTRAN in 1980 so that I could be with the 
up-and-coming in-crowd on campus ... only to find out that they all 
switched that year to COBOL, DOH!

Yup, Logo is still cool to play with. I used FMSLogo because it played 
nicely with my computer lab of Mandriva Linux boxes. I even taught Logo 
on ICON computers by Unisys Corp. that used QNX as its operating system. 
QNX is what powers the new Blackberries from RIM! Finally, when the 
ICONs were being replaced, I installed AtariGEM on them and used the 
Atari version of Logo. It was a lot of fun! I was always accused of 
having more fun than the kids!

Cheers,

Marc
