Hi John,

The thing about Logo is that it teaches procedural and functional
programming techniques, including iteration and recursion, for the sole
purpose of drawing pretty pictures.  That's a great way for kids to learn to
program, and in some ways I would recommend it over (standard) BASIC, which
emphasises GOTO way too much for my liking.
