TPUG (Toronto PET Users Group) is pleased to reconnect you with one of the most intriguing entrepreneurs of the mid-1980’s home computing era. Brian Dougherty was the founder of Berkeley Softworks, the company that developed GEOS (Graphic Environment Operating System) for the Commodore 64, C128, Plus/4, and the Apple II series of computers.

In addition to GEOS, the company also released complementary software and hardware such as geoPublish and geoRAM. GEOS and its ecosystem of products granted 8-bit computers the type of functionality previously only seen on more powerful computers like the Amiga, an ambitious feat that continues to be admired by retrocomputing fans worldwide.


Brian Dougherty will be interviewed by Toronto-based UI Designer Lucas Gramajo.


Mark your calendars! As usual, you can also watch the event later - just subscribe to TPUG's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TorontoPETUsersGroup

Date: Thursday, April 18, 2024.

Time: 7:30PM ET. (Toronto, Canada).

Preview video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huzRxVdrwUY​​​


From Jeff Schaap - producer:
Quote:
It's finally here! I'd like to extend an invitation to everyone in the Commodore community to watch and provide feedback on this preview of the independent film I've been developing called I Adore My 64.

Since the film will focus on the incredible impact the Commodore 64 has had and feature the community that keeps its legacy alive, it seems only fitting to have the community's input on it. Your thoughts and insights are welcomed and can be left in the comment section of the video.

Please feel free to share it with other Commodore groups that you may participate in. Additional exposure will only help the film as it ramps up toward a Kickstarter campaign.
