@vga256 I don't, but I just wanted to say, Geoworks was pretty amazing for its time. The difference between the output from Geoworks and any other word processing app on a dot matrix printer was night and day (as was how much ribbon you went through, but that's another story)
@vga256 I used Geoworks 1.0, I wonder if Windows 3.1 hadn't even released yet? I'm pretty sure truetype fonts came after Geoworks 1.0 in the Windows world, though I could be misremembering. That or I couldn't run Windows 3.1 on my XT :)
@ve3qbz yup exactly. we had an amstrad XT at the time, and we could only run win2.0 on it. we made a leap to a 486 SX-33 because my mom needed win3.1 for her SPSS course 😆
@vga256 OMG! It's been decades since I last heard this name: Geoworks
My dad used to use it to prepare his courses (he was a teacher). I played a fair bit with this suite as a child.
Thanks for taking me down memory lane
@vga256 I saw your followup post, so it looks like you found it. I just wanted you to know that there’s a fellow GeoWorks lover out there (me!) who’s following the hashtag. I re-visit this post every now and then when I want nostalgia-type feelings: https://tedium.co/2019/06/20/geoworks-geos-history/
