Actually, to be more clear... The original graphical AOL client for the PC was a PC/GEOS application. It booted GEOS and straight into the AOL GEOS application.

- mschaef 8y agoInteresting. Was there any carryover between that and QuantumLink/QLink (via Commodore GEOS). I'm assuming not...
- johnm 8y agoTechnologically, no. Business-wise, I don't recall.
- mschaef 8y agoThanks... tbh, it was the technology that interested me more. I remember pretty amazed at GEOS on the C64, but have never fully understood if there was a connection to the other GEOS implementations (or the nature of that connection if it existed).
- johnm 8y agoCommodore GEOS was created by the same company as PC/GEOS. I only worked on PC/GEOS.
- compsciphd 8y agoI know, but this wasn't a separate aol app, this was part of geoworks ensemble.
- johnm 8y agoThere was a standalone version that was sold on disks as AOL. GEOS was completely hidden from the users. I.e., it was AOL's GUI.
