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.

Been using BeOS since 1997-1998-ish (I have a copy of "Preview Release 2" lying around somewhere - I think it was R4) off and on (more on). Best OS ever! Really, I mean it. The BEST. It just works and it does it in a logical, intuitive way.
I have 3 computers at home:
Mac G4 running OS X, Homemade PC running Fedora Core 2 and of course, a Homemade PC with both R4.5.2 and R5.0.3.
