I am looking for information regarding educational/recreational
software for the IBM PC geared toward young (4-8 years old)
children.

I just set up our old PC with the intention of letting the kids
use it.  I remembered hearing good things about Digital Research
LOGO, so I went looking for it.  To my chagrin, I discovered that
this product is no longer available.  Also, no software store I
contacted has any LOGO system.

Does anyone out there have any info about any LOGO for the IBM
PC?  I'd be especially interested in experience letting young
children go at it.

Also, does anyone know of a source of information for software
aimed at kids (reviews, product descriptions, etc.)?  A news
group?  A bulletin board?  Anything?

Thanks.
