GEOS for the 64 was the basis for QuantumLink, the predecessor to AOL.
It was an interesting GUI at the time.

I had a 386SX/16 with 4 mb of RAM that mostly ran Windows 3.1, but I
spent most of my time in DOS or GeoWorks on it. Geoworks came with a
bunch of apps, looked like the UNIX systems I used (Motif WM on
UNIXWare) and ran well on my system.
I bought a copy that came with Borland Quattro for DOS, which was why I
bought it - I couldn't afford 1-2-3 and all of the pirate boards I
frequented were focused more on games than business apps.
... Wait, this is a *scene*?
