Interview w/ Adam de Boor, former CTO of
GeoWorks:
The first time I ever saw GEOS, it was running on and Apple II, and working pretty much like
AppleMacintosh did, but on much more limited hardware, and in full color. I was very impressed that they managed to pull off this feat. Since then, GEOS has become available on other platforms, including 8086 PCs and portable devices.
GEOS was also used for a line of PDAs called the Zoomer.
