Some things never change. When the BBC B was released, people were saying
BASIC was outdated and we should all be writing in the sea or somesuch.
Accessibility is the key. BBC BASIC is just THERE and nothing else is. To
use the over worn motoring analogy, not many people would buy the model
of car they drove to learn and pass their test. Once kids of 10 master
BASIC and LOGO they can move on to something {more grown up};
