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.

Melancholy indeed. Reminds me that I should be spending more time on IRC with the people that I met back in those days.
Thanks Eugenia - I really appreciate the contribution that you have made to the community these past years.
I just wish that I had a bit more time to make some more useful applications, and perhaps a bit more journalistic work than I did. Alas, those days are gone. Kudos to everyone at Be for making a great OS, and giving me some memorable years during university. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Zeta...
