Their butt-ugly BeBoxes were supposed to do things typical x86 machines could only dream of. When I finally got to use BeOS 5 Personal Edition, I didn't see much to it. I imagine others didn't see what was so revolutionary either, explaining why it died quickly thereafter.On Sat, 1 Jun 2024 06:34:55 -0400, Andrzej Matuch wrote:>

Feel free to do so.
BeOS <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzosnPSETzk> -- not technically a
“Unix”, but still a good example of a state-of-the-art GUI anyway.
I wanted to use BeOS at the time. But it was designed to run only on a
computer with the good sound card and the good graphic card and
everything else. So, as I couldn't buy a new computer only to use BeOS I
never tried it.
