Me too. I really liked Logo. I worked as "child volunteer" at and art museums "festival of the future" making logo spirographs for interested visitors. It was the early 80s and the apple ][+ 's 7 colors (2 white and 2 black..) was pretty bad compared till today, but we didn't care because not much was better.

Basic was built in so I ended up going back to that. I learned logo, pascal and basic, but being built in and not having access to pascal at home made my choice.

I did return to logo in high school on macs for some neat fractal and equation graphing programs.

Hey! Hey! Stop bad-mouthing the Apple II's graphics capabilities. I'll have you know the computer has not 7 but 8 high-resolution colors (of which two are white and two are black, but who cares about being a little wasteful when you have so many colors to choose from?).
