Description
This one-page short story was composed by a six-year-old girl on a Commodore 64C home computer in about 1987. The computer came bundled with GEOS (Graphical Environment Operating System), a third-party system that included a paint program, geoPaint, and a graphical word processer, geoWrite. The child used geoWrite to create the story, which was set in the digital font “Cory,” and then printed on a dot-matrix printer.
