Well, to be fair I don't think that BeOS was ever anything more than something some people outside of Apple thought was a neat idea. Pink was interesting though, and I remember (trying to) follow its development before it morphed into/was replaced by Copeland which somehow never appealed to me. > Still, I was well tired of overenthusiastic MacWorld articles about the > replacements that never were, by the time NeXT morphed into OS X.

I would have been hard pressed to find a reason to switch to a different OS at the time if it wasn't for the gains of getting a real¹ UNIX command-line. ¹ Albeit, for certain values of 'real' back in 10.0-10.3. -- Stupid men are often capable of things the clever would not dare to contemplate... --Feet of Clay
