The story of how a BeOS refugee (and not just everyone, but the author of the 'BeOS Bible' book) lost faith in the future of computing, resigned himself to Windows but found himself bored silly, tore out half his hair at the helm of a Linux box, then rediscovered the joy of computing in MacOSX. Scot Hacker will describe his personal adventures with today's operating systems after he was set out to find an alternative to his beloved (but with no apparent future) BeOS. Update: Make sure you read the second part of the article, a rebutal, found here.

Damn you, Scot Hacker. I am looking at the balance of my savings account and already imagining it with about 3000 dollars less. OS X seems to be the start of a dream come true - the solid Unix underpinnings with a user friendly interface. By OS X1, or whatever it's called, I bet I own a Mac.
I have used the BeOS for some time, but I agree, it now feels ancient and worthless because most of my PC-time is spent writing for and surfing the web. Thanks a lot Scot, you're breaking me! </sarcasm, if you didn't know>
