GEOS is probably worth some time if you are using an 8 bit Apple II
because it does have some decent applications for those machines.

GS/OS has all the features of GEOS and *WAY* more.  Even the
applications for GS/OS are usually better than those for GEOS.  One big
thing is GS/OS applications allow using colour in things like word
processing and desktop publishing.

So, as long as you are using GS/OS on your IIgs and aren't using your
IIgs like a fast IIe, then you are probably better off investing more
time in GS/OS rather than in GEOS.
