GeoWorks was pretty cool on the 386 but GEOS on the Commodore 64 was just unreal -- it was slow and required some tedious disk swapping but even the idea of selectable, proportional fonts at different font sizes among its many other features was amazing on a 1MHz CPU, 64k RAM system.
- krallja 9y agoI picked up my first C64 at a garage sale in the late 90s, and one of the disks it came with was GEOS. It really surprised me when it loaded and I realized what I was looking at.
- eru 9y agoI also had GEOS on a C64, but I remember it being a cartridge---so no disk swapping required. I picked mine up at a garage sale, too. As an aside: I just learned/remembered that the original Nintendo Game Boy ran at roughly four times the CPU frequency of the C64.
