- erric 9y agoIn 1999 at a convention in New Orleans, a friend of mine had BeOS 3 or 4 on an x86 and it absolutely was amazing. It booted way faster then Linux or Windows and was quite pretty. A lot of us reminisce for what could have happened with the MacOS. I love OSX. I use it every day and I'm quite happy with it. Still I wonder what the present would be like with a BeOS based system instead.
- lr 9y agoI bought a Performa 6360 (the lowest-end Mac that could run the BeOS at the time) so I could run the BeOS. Even the installer blew me away (you could move the dialog around while it was installing, and it was updating live on the screen). I was like, "You can do that with this hardware?!" This was 1997. I really loved that OS.
