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 was an early adopter of BeOS and I was a little miffed when Be/Apple dropped the ball. I wanted to move my PowerPC MAC over to BeOS, but was forced to wait for Mac OS X -- I'm glad I waited! Mac OS X is really a very slick OS -- it's what the BeOS was going to become.
