TPUG (Toronto PET Users Group) is pleased to reconnect you with one of the most intriguing entrepreneurs of the mid-1980’s home computing era. Brian Dougherty was the founder of Berkeley Softworks, the company that developed GEOS (Graphic Environment Operating System) for the Commodore 128, C64, Plus/4, and the Apple II series of computers.
In addition to GEOS, the company also released complementary software and hardware such as geoPublish and geoRAM. GEOS and its ecosystem of products granted 8-bit computers the type of functionality previously only seen on more powerful computers, an ambitious feat that continues to be admired by retrocomputing fans worldwide.
Brian Dougherty will be interviewed by Toronto-based UI Designer Lucas Gramajo.
