BeOS & Derivatives 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.

I had to sneek back for a peek while doing some on-line research for a project concerning some antiquated multimedia OS I still find useful in many ways.

To Eugenia:
"I love the additions! It's interesting to find out how and why some things were done in this or that way and decisions were made that brought BeOS to our systems as we knew it for those of us not "inside"."

I would also like to add (+ apologies for not listing all of you!):
"To Eugenia, Oliver, and all the rest at BeNews,
Damn I miss reading that stuff!!!
You all did an excellent job."
