  • GEOS (Correction)

    From J.B. Wood@3:770/3 to All on Fri Sep 4 13:03:11 2020
    Hello, all. According to Wikipedia, GEOS was bundled with the 64C as
    Erich B. had stated in his OP. I never purchased that model, having
    acquired 3 breadbox models over the years. So what I stated I think was correct but only for non-64C commodores. Sincerely,

    Commodore could have, instead of just bundling GEOS with the C64c,
    including its kernel into ROM (and selling a cartridge with the same
    for legacy owners). GEOS got pretty wide adoption as it were for a
    non-game, but this would have encouraged even more widespread use. By
    1987 or 1988 a productivity application running on GEOS would have
    been the norm, and we might have seen GEOS-based games too.
