It is always an honour to interview people who have 'served' and worked on operating systems at the "golden" times of the operating systems, the '80s and pre-Win9x days. Today we interview Adam de Boor, who was the CTO at GeoWorks, developers of the GEOS, in the begining of the last decade. Adam today works for OpenWave Systems. We discuss about GeoWorks, its past, its future, where it should have been.

I donated some older systems to 'The Boystown Institute' for underpriviledged and "non-conforming" kids. I loaded the best OS I legally could on each, but if GEOS/NewDeal would have been even a little less expensive, I could have put it on all of them. I wanted to start a regular program for the kids using donated hardware, but it was just too difficult using different v. of DOS or Windows to get what you could out of stuff. Neither Boystown or I had the money up front to get it going, as it was "experimental" trying to prove you could actually use all that "old junk" to do something.
