GeoWorks Geos: The Other Windows

I loved GeoWorks, it was simple to use and didn't seem to be as much of an effort than Windows. At one point I had an HP laptop (LX something) that I used, it was pretty small for the time and easy to carry.

It would be similar to Microsoft Works (which I also used).

I vaguely remember there was a brick like computer that ran GEOS, etc on it.

In Portugual it used to be shipped on Phillips computers, on the offered software package.

Had a mate that used to talk about it all the time, to our puzzled looks from Amiga and DOS/Windows 3.x users.

I heard so much about GEOS but never used it. Did anyone here ever use it a lot? I would be interested to hear about their experience

I used it quite a bit since it was bundled with my Magnavox 386. It had a really good suite of office tools and supported some really oddball printers. Wrote quite a few school reports with it. If it would have had more applications I wouldn't have picked up windows.
