Major tangent alert! No, BeOS is not a Mac OS. Jean-Louis Gasse, a former Apple exec, founded the company a few years ago. BeOS was originally designed to run on the BeBox, a multi-processor Power PC based machine. They eventually stopped manufacturing the BeBox and built a version that would run on Power Macs. They had a bundling deal w/Power Computing so everyone who bought a clone could try it out. After Power died, Be built an Intel version. Its multi-threaded and designed to run with multiple processors. I saw the first BeOS for Mac demos at Macworld San Francisco in 1996. For a few minutes, there seemed to be a positive computing future awaiting us all.
