Seeing the windows 3.1 interface took me back to a much happier time.

I definitely wasn't happier with my computer back then.

Is BeOS still floating around?

[–] lproven@social.vivaldi.net 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

@ChickenLadyLovesLife @dvdnet62 Not as such. I mean it is but its drivers are 25 years out of date now. YellowTab Zeta is out there too which was updated a bit but is still ancient.

But there is Haiku. Bigger, slower, more complicated, but it does a lot more.

As I recall, Gasse was offered something like $440 million for BeOS by Apple and he turned them down. Not sure it would have made any difference in anything by this point, but at least Objective-C wouldn't have been littered with classes with the "NS" prefix.

M$ is terminal and most of the world is hooked up to a terminal entity; Most of the world is terminal.
