...and it seems like the company that actually produced the games still 
exists - "Arcademic Skillbuilder" (it's mentioned in LOGO1) is prolly the 
same as the current "Arcademic Skill Builders", who actually STILL offer 
the same games - but here's the bizarre thing - they make them as Flash 
games on their website! O_o  And as far as I can tell - more or less 
unchanged over the Apple ][ versions.

I guess it goes to show you that some people understand better than others 
that just because a program gets old doesn't make it any less valuable.
