@gloriouscow take a look: #GEOS for x86 now #opensource :) https://github.com/bluewaysw/pcgeos
Part 1 of our #CircularArcs crowdfunding is fully funded – 112K CHF raised!
We’re very close to securing Part 2 too – just 13K CHF to go to bring full arc support into #QGIS!
We've extended the campaign until the end of July!

Wizard's plumb tuckered out. #Caturday #Commodore64 #GEOS
What would you consider the single most sophisticated piece of software ever written for the C64?
I'm on the fence between GEOS and the Newcomer RPG. The former is a whole OS but the latter uses effectively all of the C64's memory and its 14 disks long!
@IPXFong @davefischer Note, recently found this same trick works for BrotherWorks 98 (GeoWorks derivative)

Managed to work out how to get into this #Tandy Z-PDA "Zoomer". I haven't found any photos of the insides of this thing online yet.
Unfortunately this one seems to have had some hidden battery leakage, but it seems to be restricted to the speaker and wires for the battery. Everything else looks in good condition.
It can take an external PSU, but I can't find any details on it (voltage, polarity).
Also, it runs #GEOS.
Circular arcs in QGIS are crucial for precise geographic data! Currently, support is limited, but you can help change that. With our crowdfunding campaign, we aim to enhance their management in GEOS for reliable processing, precise intersections, and new possibilities. We’re halfway there, and we need your help to go all the way!

1/2 I was talking to @howtophil about GEOS and decided that I would spin up a VM to run it. Let me tell you what I learned. I used Qemu and started with FreeDOS (FD14 is really slick!) but GEOS20 would error out on launch. Something to do with memory/files/buffers but none of my fiddling would get it to work. I thought it might have something to do with memory management so I spun up a generic MSDOS6 VM...

I just got an amazing package from a guy who used to work at Geoworks: shrink-wrapped copies of the 8-bit stuff. Any 8-bit Apple GEOS users out there? #GEOS #Commodore
