Everybody is entitled to their opinions...

You can get UCB Logo from every GNU FTP site (e.g. 
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/ucblogo-4.2.tar.gz).

Then you've missed a lot!  There was LCSI Logo that was written for the 
IBM PC.  It was a 30KB .com program which supported everything you could 
dream about (you could even use arbitrary-precision FP math!).  I still 
have it on my hard disk, btw.

But this is becoming off-topic, I'm afraid.
