Hello, and I was GEOS fan years ago from the day it came out.  Berkeley 
Softworks also mailed out a monthly users' newsletter that was actually 
put together using GEOS apps.  I used GEOS quite a bit on a C-64 with 
two 1541 drives.  Even with two drives there was still quite a bit of 
disk-swapping required when working with the GEOS wordprocessor, 
spreadsheet or paint programs.  What I never procured, and what was 
sorely needed for efficiency, was either a GeoRAM or Commodore REU. 
Trust me, you don't want to run GEOS on a C-64 with just a single disk 
drive.  How well GEOS might perform on an emulator I can't address. 
Sincerely,
