I have never tried it myself. But I have seen it on my brother's PC as
a dual operating system. I believe he got rid of it. I was a novelty
for him. I would be interested in seeing if I could get my apple to
run BeOS. But then again, what's available for that platform? As you
can see I know little to nothing about it except that it exists and
looks cool.

My Fellow PowerBook-philes,
Anyone tried to get these two humming? I know Be never made the OS to
work with the Apple Laptops, but .... I mean ... think it could be
hacked to do so?
I think at the least it would be amusing. Besides, might breathe some
life into one of my old Wallstreets.
Not sure which version to try, though. Hmmm.....
Maybe I'll just go buy an old, used G3 PowerMac to try it all on.
Sincerely,
Pacer the Loon

Thanks for all the input folks. I wanted to apologize for my rather
intense input on this subject. Did I mention subject? For some

Anyway, what I meant about the viruses is that I do in fact know that
this move to Intel is good for Apple. But, I'm afraid it might be
too good. I'm one of those unusual Mac users that LIKES being a part
of a small community. I LIKE the fact that Apple has a small market
share. I enjoy watching PeeCee users getting jealous over Apple's
technology, only to get it eventually when PC manufacturers try to
copy it. Everyone keeps saying this is good for Apple, etc. Yea,
sure it's good. . .and the bigger the market share, the more we are
gonna attract hackers. I know the power of Mac OS X (trying not to
sound like Darth Vader); it's almost impossible to create an
effective system debilitating virus TO DATE. But, the bigger the
crowd, the more people are going to notice. I hope everyone can see
my point.
I need to formerly apologize to those who use PC's and are members of
this list. I work with all types of computers in my business. I
customize wireless networks, create systems for people; both PC and
Mac. I just had a very bad experience with someone who drove me
crazy with his PC. Let's just say he's the one who's stupid. . .and
that some people should not have a computer AT ALL. I strive to be
patient, but for some reason I vented in here. . .my sacred ground
with folks who not only know as much as I do about Linux, Be OS,
Amiga OS, Mac OS, Windows and Unix, but even more than ME. :)
Also, the useful info regarding the Alpha chip is actually exciting.
Is this true? Are the former employees from DEC really working for
Intel?! I'm throughly aware of the Alpha chip and it had a lot of
potential. I could only imagine what those folks, with Intel's
budget, could create for Apple. Everyone's going to want a Mac!
(biting nails) I just hope I'm wrong and the market share won't go
any higher than 30% in the next 10 years. Oh for those who own Apple
stock and are cringing at what I just typed. . .I have stock as well.
:)
Keepin' it small. . .(like a secret club, folks!)
