@coldacid You are an inspiration.I should be doing something equally as useless-yet-entertaining.My life circumstances would be better if I returned to this habit.

@coldacid I always feel like 1.2. I didnt even know they didnt invent tetris back then. First exposure to tetris and solitaire.Remember how boomers used to say OpenOffice was useless for schools because we would be using Microsoft office at work? I grew up on Geo write and claris works and i turned out fine.

@olmitch I think that a native spreadsheet app didn't show up until 2.0 or New Deal

Was Quattro a native Geos app or just a DOS app?

@olmitch yes. Apparently a DOS app that when run under GEOS would work as a GEOS application, or something. I never got to see it for myself before, which is the major reason I'm doing a setup of Pro 1.2 now.

@olmitch I'm trying to collect the whole set of 8-bit GEOS software products (can't do much with the hardware ones)

Geos is like like finding a lost advanced civilization. The Zoomer PDA interface looks so good too
