- Then there is the commercial product AmigaLOGO which I bought because
- I thought it would be a good way to introduce programming to my wife.

- the days before mice and menus? You'd better, or you won't be able
- to use this product. What a shame, too, because there seems to be a
- nice implementation of LOGO in there someplace. Too bad you can't
- get to it through that interface.
