Be was amazing when it came out.
I was introduced to it when the company came out to do a demo of it
for the computer science department of the uni I was at.
The multimedia abilities they demoed were amazing.
Coming from Atari ST and TT this seemed like the next generation.
I loved the BeFS.
I could not afford a BeBox at the time and the uni. decided against
buying any.
We did have quite a few NeXTstations in the department which were nice.
but I would have preferred Be.
- aa-jv 4y agoI was living in Hollywood at the time, hacking on SGI gear for clients. I attended a BeBox/BeOS demo at a girls school in Los Feliz, and was instantly hooked .. I dropped some hard-earned SGI cash on a BeBox right then and there. I still have it, as well as my other SGI machines. Its easily one of the sexiest machines in my retro-computing collection. Sure, the SGI boxes actually have some useful software - but the BeBox has sexier blinkenlights by far. ;)
