    No, you need to read it a little more closely. They say they
can't support it. They also hint very strongly that it does work (as it
obviously does) but no guarantees. The real threat is for the future.
I'm not sure why Apple is taking this stance, unless they see BeOS as a
threat to Rhapsody?? Or if there were some nasty words in the past when
Apple was courting Be, then rejected them???

      Don't know of any. Just got BeOS a week or so ago, haven't
done much with it except install it and poke around a bit. It's neat. Be
neater if it ran Mac apps.
