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 just wanted to say Thanks, Eugenia. *HUG*
You've always had a soft spot in my heart for your dedication, in all the time I've known you, from the early days in BeShare, etc.
Nice article, I didn't realize it --HAD-- been 10 years, gosh darn it! heh. I myself had just written about my using BeOS for six years, and I can totally understand how you feel about BeOS being that "special feeling" OS, etc.
Anyhow. Before I get all mushy or something... Cheers.
