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.

I have a b&w G3 450 i'm looking to get rid of (mail me for details). I know its not a for-sale board, but hey.. i bought it for the same reason you guys are talking about. I basically wanted to check out OS X on my own. I must say I love it, and that people really are going overboard on the speed thing. Its very responsive, though i had to add a bunch of ram to get it there.. it is. At any rate, its really silly, as it boiled down to that i simply couldn't get used to the way the menu bar up top worked. This was my first foray into mac's, so i wasn't quite used to it. While it is an excellent OS, i lost interest.
