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.

its been quite some time. i started drooling over BeBox's back in the day, watching them go from 66Mhz to 133. I jumpped on R3.0 when it first came out, and built a spesific box with 'supported' parts at the time. I used R3.x for a while off and on, but with R4 i completly switch, and have Never gone back.
i even corrupted my work place and write all my code on BeOS.
i must say, for what i do, and how i use my computer, Be has always made it easy and fun. but like Eugenia, i could KDL my system with my eyes closed if i wanted to
well, here's to you BeOS. may your days last long.
