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.

-During that period it was rumored that both Steinberg's Cubase and
Emagic's Logic Audio were being ported to BeOS.
Also there were quite a few open-source audio programs awaiting
porting, but that was more or less stopped when Be decided to move
its OS into the 'internet utilities' direction...
