Let us know what you think if you ever try Just Be, RTev.

I just counted and realized that if I did put BeOS on one of the machines here that it would bring the operating system count in my small place up to an astounding six: NT (which I use 90% of the time) and MacOS (which I use about 8% of the time). But on old machines, I also have Linux, Windows 98, and AmigaOS (which remains my sentimental favorite and which is still capable of doing some things that can just barely be done with the far more powerful NT machine I'm typing on right now. But then again, it will also run as a task within NT and run faster that way than it does on the original machine.). Adding one more to the mix seems reasonable, eh?

SI should pay you to be on this thread. Maybe we can take up a collection. ;-)

Hey! Great idea. I'm sure JFD would love to contribute. [John! No. Stop grumbling. I didn't mean it.]
