yeah...it is/was available for free download through the web site for
his 'cryptonomicon' book, which was much better IMESHO (im kinda
prejudiced though given my occupation...)

When they were shipping it out on their laptops they were sending the
laptops with a dual boot of Windows and BeOS, I think. Be has been out
of
business for a while, I thought, but apparently you can still get the
OS.
I was not aware that it ran on Linux, though.

So what type of system do you need for final scratch?

I think that the reason it's only written for BeOS, not Mac or
Windows, is
because of the audio latency. The last I heard they had it down to
like 5
ms or something. If anyone has ever seen BeOS in action it's pretty
impressive. There's no way a Mac or a Windows machine could handle
audio
latency that low.
And 5 ms still isn't all that great for DJ uses, at least in my
opinion.

1. I had spine surgery 1 year ago for an injury I incurred most
probably
from carrying my records to my radio show and DJ gigs. It caused me
three
years of unbearable pain (anyone who knew me then can attest to
this by
the shear number of pills I was taking) and my limp. I ended up in
the
emergency room in New York and then on Morphine for a week and into
neurosurgery. I would like to avid another back injury and
therefore not
carrying my records to gigs is very appealing.
2. My record bag can only hold 40 - 60 records, and is limiting as
I'm
sure you all know. You know that moment where you still have apile
of
records you HAVE to bring with you to this gig but there's just no
room!
With a big selection of my records on a laptop I can have a few
hundred
tracks with me.
3. With my music in a laptop or hard drive in my carry-on bag I
never
have
to worry about flying / losing / breaking my records in airports /
baggage
claims. Ever know anyone that's had a crate of their favorite
records
ripped off? Don't answer that.
All this adds up to me wanting a MAC version. I'll keep buying
vinyl, I
love listening to it at home and almost all the music I own in on
wax,
but
come on, get that heavy record bag off my shoulder and I'm a happy
camper.
