The Commodore 64 (C64) was the hottest home computer in the 1980s with around 25 million units sold. It was, in fact, the best selling computer in the world before you know who came along. So it shouldn't come as a surprise that tons of software, both games and apps, were written for the system.
One of those apps is the Graphical Environment Operating System or GEOS, an operating system and graphical user interface for the C64 developed by Berkely Softworks.
The GEOS' features included:
- Cut-and-paste text, graphics, and other objects
- Drag-and-drop file management such as copying, printing, and deleting
- Support for numerous printers, input devices, and disk drives
- Numerous point-and-click applications
- An easy to use GUI interface
- Support for memory expansion, process switching, and print spooling
