Wanted to figure out how to develop for GEOS on the C=64. Turns out there are rather many things called GEOS these days. However, if you're like me, this is the link you're after:
Very cool! I loaded it up and played around with it a bit.

I wrote a letter to Berkeley Softworks asking for information about how one could develop GEOS programs, and I guess someone felt sorry for me because they sent me a huge binder with a printed version of the Hitchhiker's Guide to GEOS:

Trying things out without any preconceptions of how programming should work was quite an adventure.
