Oops. I lost track of product names frequently, especially since there are so many ;) You're probably also right about the reason for starting out with a PPC based system. I'd heard about a similarly sized offer for Be, as well as JLG's refusal. There weren't a lot of realtime OS's out there, and still aren't -- BeOS could have been the next OS/2, only without IBM's marketing behind it. (Can anyone say, "Friendly fire?")
