It is Lego Logo, and it's a good deal more than just software. >2) Publisher's name, address and telephone number. LEGO Systems, Inc. 555 Taylor Road Enfield, CT 06082 (203) 749-2291 >3) Retail price. That $485 price David Sloan gave includes hardware, software, and teaching materials. The product is designed to be sold to schools for classroom use rather than to individuals. >7) Compatibility with other versions of Logo. It's MIT Logo (essentially the same as Terrapin and Krell Logo) with some added "bells and whistles" to run the Lego hardware. >8) Hardware/software requirements. Requires a //e or IIgs (needs a slot) and Lego's special version of Logo which recognizes the add-in card. Comes with motors, lights, other gadgets, and some Lego blocks; it doesn't hurt to have a few extra Lego sets around. >10) Your personal experience with the product. I saw the package demonstrated at our user group meeting about a year ago. It's impressive and pretty easy to use, the demo was by a young lady that had worked for the company less than two years who hadn't used any computer before she took the job with Lego. Lego has a promotional video about the product featuring Seymour Papert of MIT who developed the Lego language and worked with Lego on the product.
