I've always been curious about how things work. When I was little, I annoyed my parents with millions of
questions. Why is the sky blue? How does water come out of the tap when you open it? Maybe I was born without the
mental switch that lets you be happy with using something, without trying to figure out how it works.

I remember this, I followed the hype of that project for some time.
Started by a 12- or 14-year-old so-called "boy genius", It began in 1996 in its "early planning phase" and died in 1999 or 2000 in just the very same "early planning phase". In-between the claimed that "hundreds of developers" were involven with the project.
The boy-lead promised a better Windows than Windows, a better MacOS than MacOS etc. etc. - the only thing we got in the end, though, is (hopefully) a more humble young person ;-)
