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 first heard of BeOS in a norwegian computer magazine back in 2000, and I have been using BeOS ever since (with a little break in 2001). Now I use BeOS R5 Pro 99% of my computer time (which is a LOT), and I boot up in Windows for some Office (when we use Excel at school), and when watching movies from my laptop to the TV.
A Great OS!
Congratulations!
