requiem for having been
requiem for having been
© 2001 dan sandler
November 16, 2001; 4:25 pm. I shut down my computers:
- spray-can.be.com: A dual-PII-350 (once a mighty Athlon 800) running the latest experimental build of (what was once called) BeOS.
- paint-bucket.be.com: A PowerBook G3/400 ("Pismo") running MacOS X, on which I once did UI design.
4:40 pm. I turn in my key to the third floor of 800 El Camino Real.
4:45 pm. I pull out of the Be parking lot for the last time.

OpenBeOS Project
My first glimpse of BeOS came in college (no surprise). After the death of the Amiga, I sketched out an operating system design and took classes to learn how to implement it. In one of those classes, I met Scott. I showed him my sketches (object hierarchies) and he told me to look at the BeBook. I was shocked - it was 95% the same as what I had sketched out! When I saw the BeBox (Scott had one), I was immediately taken with it. I started saving money to buy one. Scott went on vacation and I borrowed his for a couple of weeks. It was pure heaven! Right around the time that I had the money to buy the BeBox, the Mac port came out. I decided to put the money toward a Power Computing Mac Clone. Right around the time that I had the money for the Power machine that I was looking at, Steve Jobs shut down the clone companies. So I sat tight.
