Great Talk! Some interesting things in there which I didn’t know about (and I have a long history with the C64), and finally a detailled introduction to the FLI mode.
I, too, hope to see some similar in-depth introductions to other systems like the Amiga, Atari or even the IBM PC next year. Although I do think that I know a lot about the PC at least, your talk showed me that there’s always many new things to learn.
@sa: If an application draws a dialog box over the main application screen, GEOS saves the original rectangle onto the second screen and restores it when the dialog is closed. This way, the application doesn’t have to handle “window damage”. More info here: http://www.zimmers.net/geos/docs/geotech.txt
Are the slides available anywhere, yet? Can you provide your Keynote bundle for us?!

in the section on geos you mentioned a “damage” buffer, what is this? and how/when/why is it used?

Neat, thanks for the explanation! Really enjoyed the talk.
Well done! I really enjoyed the video.
I find it still amazing what can be done in only 64K.
POKE 1,0 😉

Just tried to watch the video – says that it’s not available. Link dead? Or limited access (I’m trying from Germany)?
