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.

well, all these prices you guys are throwing around seem a little steep. Granted, spending $3K will get you a dual 800G4 w/ dual video and a superdrive, those who are on budget could easily find them on ebay for much less, I would suggest the AGP or 'Sawtooth' variety of G4 or PowerBook G4 to love on OS X with. Better yet, keep saving, word has it G5s are just around the corner, look for G4 prices to drop pretty fast, even though they seem to sell as many as they (Apple) can make, even at "all those crazy prices". And yes, this was a great article, I used to use Be, I would boot to it from a zip disk and it would run circles around my Mac OS at the time, nice. There is something to this ever-so-asthetically pleasing OS X that makes them all look 'generic' IMHO, maybe it's the vector graphic PDF based quartz display, but elegant has new meaning.
