Nowadays, all you hear about is Windows, MacOS X, or GNU/Linux. However, what ever happened to the good old BeOS?

In other news the Commodore 64 makes an amazing comeback. Once thought of as a dead platform the c64 is kept alive by a small but very delusional user community. Here's local c64 enthusiest Jim Beam to comment.
"Well you know, the thing is, I been using the 64 since the beginning of time really. You know, its, its been a part of my daily routine for so many years I'd sure hate to quit it. I get up in the morning, start my email package loading, go have a shower, then a coffee, then brush my teeth, then I check on the status of my email software. Its not usually loaded by then, so I then proceed to go make some tea biscuits. Another thing I really like is the fact that I can save data on cassettes. You just can't do that with modern day pc's, it's really quite a tragedy. If not for the 64 I'd likely be stuck listenning to my wife's celion dion tapes for the rest of eternity."
Jim smunched up his face momentarily then continued on.
"I just told her the radiation from solar flares destroyed them. That's perfectly plausible as far as I'm concerned."
Tune in next week for the live panel discussion about secret Microsoft programmer and pro-terrorist Osama Bin Laden.
