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 too adored BeOS .. I was awfully young (12) when I started to tinker with it, it was the first non-windows OS I had ever heard of, I utterly enjoyed all the years I spent with it
.
I really should try Zeta sometimes ..
