off topic [BeOs]

[Robert Sinland <rsinland@means.net>]

  I have heard a murmur or two in the past on this list about
BeOS.  I was wondering if anyone here had tried and used
it much (or at all) and what their initial impressions were.
  They make some pretty hard to believe claims at the home
website for it. Installs in 15 mins.  Apps load instantly, no waiting, etc..
well actually this is what they said...
 Speed without limits.
                        BeOS boots in less than 20 seconds;
                        applications load faster than you ever
                        thought possible. System response is
                        immediate. And all operations are available all
                        the time; no waiting for one command to
                        finish before you execute another. Launch
                        applications, switch windows, go online. And
                        do it all right now.

  Any informed opinions out there?
