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 remember back in '99 i was looking on the internet about something else than Linux, i simply type OS and found the Be's website.
I read all the specification of BeOS, saw thoses beautiful screenshot.. and i was already in 'love', i quickly bought The R4.5. Sadly, my video card was unsupported but i was amazed by all the capabilities, i changed my card few days alfter and BeOS was my primary OS.
I've advocate BeOS so much, BeNews was obviously my homepage, i even browse with the crappy port of Opera 3.6.2 during months.. I've support financially Be,inc and still believe the switch wasn't a fault.
Well, you all know what's happen alfter, i'am still 'tear off' on the inside.
Gratefully to yT, i'am back with Zeta, even though it's not my primary OS, i still feel the BeOS spirit and i know some guys are doing a remarkable work to bring it back with OpenBeOS, i'am sure it'll be even better.
Thanks indeed to the Be's engineers, to JLG, to Steve Sakoman, to yT, to all the guys on OpenBeOS well to all people commit to this feeling.
