BeOS & Derivatives 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.

1994? Isn't that the sequel to 1984?

Sorry, couldn't resist...[/MS-bashing]

Suck it up, people! No more sniveling... It ain't dead!

To quote Rambo: "Nothing is over!!! Nothing!!! You just don't turn it off! It wasn't my war! You asked me, I didn't ask you! And I did what I had to do to win! But somebody wouldn't let us win!"[/JLG-bashing][/ok-really-no-more-MS-bashing]

Happy Be-day!
