      Geos was great on the C64, but completely useless, lol

      I didn’t know there was a PC version!

        was it though? I guess it depend on having a mouse, a second floppy drive and a printer. You could thus use it as a desktop publishing platform, or spreadsheet calculator.

          Nope, it was slow to load and use compared with text-based software for doing the same thing back in the day. An Amstrad PCW was better for actual work
