Why do we want to exclude anyone from Logo? MS/DOS computers are more
numerous than Macs and I would NEVER say that Logo should be restricted
from MS/DOS computers, but likewise I would never actively restrict Logo
FROM any platform. There is no reason to bash any computer from a Logo
standpoint. I work on DOS, Mac, and even Apple II using various
implementations of Logo (LogoWriter, MSWLogo, UCBLogo, PowerMath Logo,
Terrapin Logo, etc). Not too long ago, I even worked on Commodore
LogoWriter. The beauty of Logo is how wonderfully it works in such diverse
environments.

To all Logophiles I would say, use the computer you like. A good Logo
implementation is great on any platform.
