BeOS Users?

["Brian Henderson" brian-henderson@xxxxxxxx]

Am I correct in recalling that there are/were BeOS users among us?

If so, I found this today:

"Although BeOS was arguably one of the most advanced platforms of its time, it never gained
sufficient traction to stay afloat in a
market that was almost entirely locked up by its rivals. After the final BeOS release in 2000, a
community of enthusiasts began an
effort to bring the platform back to life by building a clean-room open source implementation from
scratch. This effort, which
became known as the Haiku project, has just announced the availability of its first alpha release
after eight years of development."
