There was a version of GEOS that ran on the Omnigo 100 PDA from HP.  The Omnigo
was an early PDA that wasn't very powerful (I think it had an equivalent of an
8088 chip, it might have been a NEC20) and had very little memory.  Anyway, the
point I wanted to make is that GEOS can run on very little overhead.
