Adafruit visited the history of the LOGO "turtle graphics" language not long ago.
Now on Twitter, folks have found the source code for the LOGO program used on Apple II computers. Source on GitHub.
It turns out that the program was written on a DEC PDP-10 minicomputer running the Incompatible Timesharing System (ITS).
I'd take it that the code is in 6502 assembly and the program works the whole Apple II memory map for functionality. Did ITS have a 6502 cross-compiler or did the MIDAS program have separate target environments?
Very interesting programming archaeology – see the source code yourself along with the full PDP-10 ITS image still maintained today.

Actually, like many "cord-cutters", I mostly don't watch the TV news. I guess my non-understanding of the Twitter-apropos-of-nothing gave it away, huh?
Is it like "I'm the secretary of state, brought to you by Carl's Jr" [freworld.info]?

What do you mean "cord cutters"? You can get the news off the air. Don't need cable, coax or copper to get TV. Do you get your news off the interwebby and only look at 4chan?

And how do you get the news from the air into your TV? Right, through an antenna. And how do you connect that antenna to your TV?
