I admire and respect your work Gregor, think of you as a generous
and intelligent guy.  I hope to meet you one day.

I don't do a lot of turtles myself these days, but there's a huge
literature, many seriously mathematical yet playful things to do
with them.  They're not "just spirographs" (although they're good
for that too).

The one time I started down the turtle graphics road in my own
curriculum writing was in connnection with the so-called Lturtle
or L-system turtle:  http://www.4dsolutions.net/ocn/numeracy3.html
