Never used GEOS personally, But there were enough people who did use it and
liked it that it must have been good for something.  I would imagine that
like other OS replacements or add-ons it would have both it's strengths and
it's weaknesses.  I played with CP/M a little on my C128.  However, most of
the time my 128 was in native C128 mode.

I ran a BBS back in "the day" and occasionally had requests for GEOS printer
drivers.  Seems that some college students were using a GEOS word processor
to do their term papers and needed to get a driver that would work with the
printer that they had in order to print it out.

I think GEOS did have its good points, but would not go so far as agreeing
with the troll that started this thread.    :-)
