Well, I can see it.  But I have never been able to post it on the internet. 
That is one of the things I would really like todo now that I am getting back
into it.  I have about 8 or 10 projects developed that deal with topics like
gene action (breeds new faces from a bank of instructions, randomness, spirals,
layering, seeking out food or avoiding prey etc.  I also have a program for how
a mosquito finds its prey.  

I am just learning how to access some of the online sites and examples.  Any
suggestions for how to post the Logo Life Project?

Gary,
 Is there anyway we can see Logo life. I teach 7th grade life science
and computer programming for 8th and 9th graders. I would love to get my
programmers to make biological models for the 7th grade class.

Hi!  I am joining the mwforum.  I am familiar with logo from previously,
as I was active in Logo teaching and learning a few years ago.  However,
our school went through some hard times and I lost support, and then got
moved into administration (shudder).  But I am back and hope to pick up
with my Logo involvement.  

I am a biology teacher in a small liberal arts college, with some
responsibility for teacher preparation.  I have used Logo in the past to
build models of biological activity.  In fact, I developed, a few years
ago, a project I caled Logo Life where I built models of biological
types of activities in Logo.  I would love to update and improve these
and get them posted on the web some place.  I have done all my work in
Microworlds.  In fact, I just gave a series of papers on the Biology of
the Mind and devoted most of one lecture to parents and ther use of
Microworlds.  Shouldn't I get a kick back or something? 
;-)  I am not sure what my questions are just yet, but I hope to join in
as I can.
