Oh dear. That /is/ sad. I remember using Logo in a year 1 or 2 maths
class at secondary school (in Welsh even! -- ailwna 4 [mlaen 100 chwith
90] -- to draw a square).

I do hope he recovers, although it doesn't sound good from that
article.

It was my first Lisp, and I even prototyped the software I am about to
release with it.

Wow, he was born in South Africa. Seems his Wikipedia entry has the
latest updates on his condition.
