Slashdot reports that GEOS, a windowed operating system for the Commodore 64 is now available for download. I can’t imagine using a Commodore 64 (or 128) for anything other than nostalgic reasons, but the download page seems to indicate that the owners of the product still think people would use it to be productive. Either way, reading about GEOS for the first time in a very long time reminds me that it was a very much anticipated Christmas present many years ago. My parents tricked me by hiding it in a gift that included a pair of pants.
A blast from the past
