I know Frank, I was just trying to be funny.  Sorry, I do that a lot.  I
don't approve of the School to Work efforts.

But I did think that LEGO has been creating LOGO controlled
electrical/mechanical "toys" for many years.  So I assumed that it took
LOGO coders to develop the gadgets. 

I do not understand why there was no mention of LOGO in the articles. 
That is a mystery to me since I thought many youngsters had used LOGO in
their grade school days on the old Apple Computers.  Maybe it is because
newspaper column writers did whatever they could to duck these kinds of
classes when they were in gradeschool.     Dale
