We added a pile of these in the 90's in a major medical library and hospital.
They are still in use (the library also has a bank of PC's and a bank of Macs but those require a little more effort to get access to so the Xterms get the bulk of the quick use for catalog and web browsing).
The models we chose had PC monitors, keyboards, memory and mice for easy parts replacement. No hard drive of course, just a ROM.
GEOS is still around thankyouverymuch as GEOWORKS. When it moved on to Intel machines it became (on 286 and above (?) anyway) a multitasking O/S with scaled fonts. It still shows up on the occasional desktop but mostly in handheld devices like the late Casio Zoomer (sort of a proto-Pilot), cell phones and the like.
