TIMETRON2019

[Niall Munnelly]

Yeah, I forgot about the PhOS thing! I think I had dano at some point, and Wagner as well, but I spent most of the time on 5 with BONE.  Crazy, how responsive and robust that was. I’m not a programmer, and have never been one, but I’m good at exploiting products’ capabilities and quirks - BeOS had so many cool features, like tagging and metadata and a pervasive messaging API that made all GUI apps eminently scriptable, that made using it a creative joy.

Dual boot with Windows XP Home for the games (Aliens vs Predator 1&2, Planescape: Torment). BeOS has been spiritually succeeded by Haiku OS the last 5-10 years. I run it as a virtual machine in Oracle’s VirtualBox).

>> I showed up way late to the party for BeOS - post-“focus shift,” version 5 for x86. But I was wholly in love with it for a couple years, and jumped to OSX grudgingly. I don’t follow this stuff anymore, but the alt-OS market was really exciting back then: a new Amiga OS, AtheOS, Syllable, QNX, which I reckon had the most commercial potential for what we once called the “internet appliance” market… I wonder where they all are now, and what has superseded them.
