using LOGO on a //e is a great idea - even if it was done tongue in cheek.
It's not tongue-in-cheek. LOGO on the Apple II was a big deal for young children in the mid-1980s. I wasn't one of them: I was a few years too old by that time, so we learned BASIC instead (middle school, just after it stopped being "junior high"). But I did learn some LOGO turtle graphics on a Commodore in elementary school. I thought I'd make something more interesting than the standard Lego turtle. But now there is little time before Maker Faire so the turtle is feeling inevitable.
