Archive-name: pcgeos-faq/part3 Last-modified: modified January 22, 1993 I updated the "When will GEOS 2 be out?" question, added the info about Zoomer, and inserted Shag's list of GeoWorks phone numbers and addresses. #Q: How can I contact GeoWorks? # #A: Their main address is: # # Geoworks # 2150 Shattuck Avenue # Berkeley CA 94704 # # Address for mail orders: # # GeoWorks Order Processing Center # PO Box 3487 # Salinas, CA 93912-3487 # # Various GeoWorks phone numbers: # # 510 644 0883 - Main computerized voicemail number # x749 - 24-hour info recording. # 510 644 9362 - Non-technical service and developer support. # 510 644 3456 - Technical support # 800 824 4558 - Orders and Updates ONLY!! # 800 772 0001 - Orders and registration (within the US) # 818 879 8522 - Orders and registration (outside the US) # # Other addresses, useful in certain countries: # # Computermate Geoworks End User Licensing # P.O. Box 64 # Mt. Kuring-Gai, NSW, 2080 # Australia # # IBM Canada Ltd. # Returns Centre/GeoWorks Ensemble # 233 Alden Road # Markham, Ontario, L3R 152 # Canada # #Q: When is PC/GEOS 2.0 going to be launched? # #A: No one knows for sure, and GeoWorks isn't telling. The current # estimate is first or second quarter of '93. The beta test of the # SDK (and the OS as well?) evidently got underway shortly after # 1/1/93. # #Q: Is PC/GEOS available as a pen system? # #A: Pen/GEOS was announced by Geoworks CEO Brian Dougherty at the # recent Pen Computing conference. Due to PC/GEOS's object-oriented # design, once the basic pen support was added to the appropriate # system level objects, all of the applications autmatically have # basic Pen support. Pen-specific applications are sure to follow. # # GeoWorks has signed a deal with Casio and Tandy to provide an # operating system (GEOS) for a handheld, pen-based device they're # making, code name "Zoomer." Zoomer is slated for release in early # summer '93. # -- Doug Taylor | Nothing real can be threatened. The Ohio State University | Nothing unreal exists. doug-taylor+@osu.edu | - A Course in Miracles
