cool! I was beginning to think i was crazy, but I KNEW there were other people in that class with me, so I figured someone here might have heard of it.
I've always wonder how many places used it for teaching...or if we were just CMU guinea pigs in my school and it never took off. Oh well.
When I was in HS, my AP Computer Science class were taught using a program called Carel (I think) on Macintoshes. It was this little mac classic lookin' icon with hands and feet. basically could do a set number of commands, like turn right, move forward, etc. I think it was created by people at CMU. Anyone remember something like this? I searched for it, but couldn't find it.
I've never used logo, but I'm guessing they're very similar. Will have to check it out sometime. Perhaps it will bring back some memorys;-)

With all these free services out there, I'm glad I'm paying for something.

You're not alone. It always depresses me when I actually have to EXPLAIN what I meant when I mutter Gauntlet phrases.
