Logo Is More Than Just Child's Play
Article Abstract:
The LOGO language has long suffered from an image of being a toy language, especially with its use of turtle graphics and its use by children. However, this offspring of LISP, the language used in artificial intelligence research, is quite powerful and is starting to be recognized as such outside of academic circles. For instance, the creator of CP-M, and president of Digital Research, Gary Kildare, has developed a LOGO program for the IBM PC. Some of its drawbacks, such as its enormous appetite for memory because of its great use of lists, are being addressed through hardware developments which take care of list processing.

It may sometimes be cheaper to purchase two printers. A brief discussion of possibilities aids in your decision.
