Kevin,

In 1988, I was looking for a shareware LOGO to start my children
programming.   I did not find anything.  At the time, my daughter was in
a LOGO summer class for gifted students.  Their class used Logowriter by
LCSI on Apple computers.  At home, we only had a PC.

To make a long story short, I called the company, found that they did
have an MS-DOS version, and would sell a home version for $160, plus
about $20 for a set of work books.  I bought it.  The program, manual
and work books, are of excellent quality.  It only requires CGA.  If you
have EGA or VGA, you get CGA graphics with 16 colors rather than 4.   

I have also received news letters and LSCI catalogues regularly.  To
contact LCSI, you can call 1-800-321-LOGO. I see in the latest catalog,
the price for a single disk and the class room materials is now
$199. There are many other programs related to LOGO in the catalog,
including LEGO (as in building blocks) with LOGO.  It looks like a great
toy to me, but I have not used it. The LSCI products are geared toword
school systems and teachers. 

     /*  The following belongs in net.forsale.
         My apologies if posting it here offends anyone. */

My children no longer use the LogoWriter program at home.  I will sell
it all for $90, half of what I paid including the work books. It is the
English Version 2.0 for MS-DOS.  It includes the original disk,
reference manual, 6 work books, and the teacher's manual.

intersted.
