PalmSource ain't gonna make a birthday party for BeOS but it would only be fair if the rest of us, [ex-]users, remember the "media OS" as the innovative operating system of the late '90s, still used by some. Depending on how you count, it was early 1994 when the first BeOS version left the Be, Inc. offices and headed toward Be's "partners" and "developers". It was 1994 when the word started to spread around among geeks about this "new and exciting" OS and soon, external devs got access to it.

Looking back, I was so naive to think that the experience people had of BeOS was enough to convert the masses. I couldn't understand why anybody would want to stay with another OS after they had seen BeOS. Hehe.
I loved Amiga, and I loved BeOS. There are so many books on the history of MS, Apple, Xerox, etc. I wish there was a book that chronicled the history of Be, Inc. I'd buy it.
