Nice to see GEOS referenced in this article - it also was the underpinning for the Atari ST line of computers that did well Europe and swung well above their weight.

If only I could find an ST 1040 again to appreciate Revenge of the Mutant Camels on a machine that was as good at desktop publishing, animating, creating sprite based games and and making music.

I thought the ST line was all about GEM.

If you're looking for an ST, they pop up from time to time on Goodwill's auction site.

I might be mistaken and it might be GEM. There was the base os and then another window manager it would go into.

I think you probably confused GEOS (C64 OS/GUI) with the Atari ST's GEM, GEMDOS, or GDOS. Lots of similar names!
