019- Is a graphical user interface (GUI) available for 8-bit Apple II's?

     For the 128k Enhanced //e and //c series, the ones which come to
mind are GEOS, Quark's Catalyst, and MouseDesk (aka Apple II Desktop).

     GEOS was probably the most popular of the three although it never
reached the popularity it gained on the C64 platform. The downside with
GEOS is that it isn't ProDOS compatible. So, you are stuck with only
using the GEOS compatible programs (GeoPublish, GeoCalc, GeoWrite,....)

     Catalyst and MouseDesk are both very similar. They provide a ProDOS
compatible version of the familiar Apple desktop GUI. MouseDesk was
purchased by Apple and renamed Apple II Desktop. This was included in
the original System Disk which shipped with the Apple IIgs. While
shipped with the 16bit IIgs, A2 Desktop is an 8 bit program which works
very well with my IIc+. I assume it would work with your IIe.
