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.

This is a bit offtopic, but the other day http://www.osnews.com/comment.php?news_id=399">we the OSNews stats here in our forums and we saw this browser string for an Operating system called http://66.181.171.71/2/42699/400/?sub_page=9&date=0">"Dildo . Well, I think I have SOLVED the mystery as to which OS that is!! The browser that creates that string is indeed Netscape 2 and 3, and I think that happens under the MacOS 8.x. I was able to distinguish that because today we had more "Dildo Compatible" OSes showing in our stats than any other day and today we also had the same number of Mac users coming in. I think the mystery is solved, and the Netscape employees had fun back then!
