   Hello, and while some vendors may have put bundles together (anyone old   
   enough to remember Protecto Enterprises?), AFAIK GEOS was a   
   separately-sold product.  I still have GEOS, DeskPack Plus, geoChart,   
   geoFile and geoCalc for the C-64.  Cost a few bucks but IMHO these   
   products were probably as close as you could get to "killer" apps on a   
   C-64, given its limitations as a practical small business platform, let   
   alone home use for MS Office-like stuff.  GEOS with its companion apps   
   did some great Macintosh-like things but oh so slowly if all you had was   
   one (not advisable) or two 1541 drives.  You really needed a 1750 RAM   
   expansion or the GEOS RAM cart to get things moving.  Sincerely,
