I think you hit the nail on the head here. This is exactly why I did MswLogo. With so much other software on the PC to draw attention I felt logo had to be beefed up a bit in order to compete for "attention cycles". This is why you can do MultiMedia (wave files etc.), 256 color Bitmaps, MIDI-Sound, Mouse events, PC-Speaker sounds, timers and Graphical User Interfaces and more.
