Hi all.. I'm a bit of a BeOS geek, I still have it installed on my pc at home.. BeOS was a revolutionary new OS when it was first released. Basically the theory behind it was, throw out all the crud and mess from the legacy operating systems (windows & macos) and start fresh. This created a great os that had awesome speed and flexability. I could throw out lots of buzz words here but, I won't.
This ground-up redesign is what allows BeOS to have things like low audio latency. It was designed to be "the media os". It is partially true that BeOS code can run on both Intel Pentium and PowerPC chips, however you do have to recompile the code. Unfortunately when Apple released computers with the G3 (and later G4) PowerPC processor they were unwilling to provide specs to outside companies about important motherboard chipsets that interfaced with the processors. BeOS has never run on the G3 or G4 processor. Anyways I think others have mentioned that Final Scratch will be released for Mac OS X eventually, and also Linux. So eventually you will be able to run it on your current up-to-date apple ibook or powerbook. -Sam ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jayson B." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <313@hyperreal.org> Sent: Wednesday, June 05, 2002 4:56 PM Subject: Re: [313] final scratch ==>> Very Appealing for these reasons ==>> > > >All this adds up to me wanting a MAC version.
