More C128 and GEOS products from Jane M. Voskamp

Thanks for sharing! I really have no intention of buying auto-boot catalog program, nor a set of "art" disks for GEOS. But I did want to say that one thingo that GEOS was great at doing was creating impressive printed work with a computer. A lowly 8-bit at that!

I remember making "small" greeting cards with GEOS. I say "small" because, although I printed them at normal size (for a greeting card), they were physically smaller than a normally printed document. I didn't make a lot of greeting/birthday/Christmas cards with GEOS, but people were always impressed.

I also remember using GEOS to print really "huge" banners. At some point in the early 90s I bought a 30-pound box of "continuous" paper for my printer. I really don't know why -- perhaps I thought I was getting a bargain by purchasing paper "in bulk". Anyway, because it was one long sheet of paper (with perforations every 11.5 inches) it was great for creating large banners with GEOS. I think I used a type-in program from RUN magazine called "Banner Maker". Who knows for sure -- that was a long time ago. But GEOS was good for those "huge" printing projects too.

Well enough about my experiences... do you have any idea what the "GEOS Unplugged" handbooks were about?

Heh, I used Printmaster for those projects.  And I still have a box or two of continuous, fanfold, pinfeed paper.  Perhaps that's what I should show those newbies at this year's Maker Faire!
