Comment on The History of GeoWorks, Microsoft Windows’ Upstart ’90s Competitor (2016)

Comments

I used GeoWorks for serious work in 1994, because the place I was working was too stingy to spring for a Windows 3.1 licence. Fabulously easy to use, and crashed at the drop of a hat losing all unsaved work ... frickin' Win3.1 WordPad would have been superior, certainly in stability at least ...

In Win 3.1 it was still called Write. If I am not mistaken mswrite.exe will launch WordPad to this date (and pbrush.exe MS Paint)

That's the one!
