Alan,

	Thanks!  I have copies of these articles as well (Scientific American and 
IEEE), I don't think I have a copy of the original Orange report - but I 
might somewhere...

	Regardless, the copies I have are xeroxes of xeroxes (copies of copies) so 
the quality is questionable ... It would be nice to have better copies on 
hand.

	Funny - I worked on some of the Logo/Educational projects over at UC, I never 
thought then that I might have been working in Smalltalk if the funding 
worked out....
