For some reason things seemed more possible back then for other platforms. Maybe it was just the afterglow of the personal computer era of the 80s? The Gobe team took a risk, I took a risk with my video editor and a many other teams dove into making apps for BeOS knowing it was a gamble. We were all also much younger, but in general the environment seemed more open. I should emphasis "seemed" as Microsoft came along and made life very hard for Be and Eazel and I am sure others who tried to get their operating systems onto PC hardware.
