I used GEOS often on my C64 as a child. It was my first experience with a graphical desktop interface and seamlessly segued into the Amiga, for me.
I recall the paint program, with its textured fills, and all the simple bitmap tools everyone is familiar with today in MS Paint. The word processing app, really more like desktop publishing. The general file management and window system...
It seems all rather forward thinking for 1986. It seems like the concepts for most of our software tends to be around for long before we have the technology to do it properly. All the pre-internet machines I had later just did what my Commodore 64 and GEOS did, but faster and with more colors.
