It is an interesting side note that Richard Miller, who hacks on Plan 9, was part of the Taos OS scene.

    Ah, I bet that explains it. People follow the subject and post the things they find.

    I wonder how long it will be before the turtle pokes its head out?

    I was waxing lyrical at the Plan9 conference to Richard who I have known for a few years about how amazing the turtle and Logo is/was for classrooms because it could engage with a wider range of children than trying to teach them programming because it stimulated those maybe interested in programming, art, robotics, languages and maths with teamwork and communication skills and even just watching things happening. Imagine my pleasure when he said "I'm glad you appreciate it" and went on to tell me the story of developing it when I had no idea!
