> The death of Be is a major reason I finally gave up on x86 and moved to Mac. Be may be dead, but BeOS lives!
Just because the parent company has gone bust is no reason not to use the OS. I use BeOS almost daily, and I love it. It has many of the nice UI features of a mac, and allows you a unixy command line when you need one (yes, I'm a bit of a unix hacker too). The OS will not be dead until people stop using it - and I see no reason to do so. If you have a x86 PC hanging around, give it a try. You can still download the OS for free (eg. from http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file_description/0,fid,7201,00.asp and there is loads of free software available - see www.bebits.com.
