  1. Woohoo! Someone mentioned GEOS!! by jbarr · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Oh, the memories from my college days...

    ...Booting up GEOS on a Commodore 64 and controlling things with a joystick...

    ...Downloading a 70 page programming manual off of Quantum Link at 300 baud...

    ...Printing out the document on a Star Gemini 10X dot-matrix printer...

    ...Being active on dial-up BBS's...

    My, how times have changed!

    GEOS was an amazing system, and the port to 8088 machines was most welcome. It ran on my Casio Zoomer PDA (pre-Palm days), and on my old Hyundai XT computer. Being overshadowed by Microsoft Windows, it's too bad Geoworks never really did anything with it.
