Having played DooM shareware on loop in awe on BeOS as a youngun (well past the system's prime) in a household with a functioning IBM PC 5150 (won in a grocery sweepstakes) still being used for practical work in 2004 or thereabouts, it tickles my mind to think of what it would be like for Apple to be the BeOS distributor Compaq was never up to being.
It ran, as I would later learn to appreciate, really well on a Pentium II (at 400MHz?). BeOS on a P2 beat the pants off Windows XP on a 2GHz Athlon 64.
