MacOSX Vs BeOS ShootOut

Jolie writes: "After Palm purchased Be's assets, the future of BeOS became uncertain and a lot of users have left the platform. One of these users was Scot Hacker, mostly known for his 'BeOS Bible' book among other things. Scot tried to stick to Windows, then to Linux but he ended up with MacOSX. He has written a long and detailed article comparing, from the user's point of view, his beloved BeOS to his new favorite, MacOSX."

Wow.

One of these users was Scot Hacker

I'm just jealous of that name.. are you sure thats not a psuedonym?

Possible last words from Hacker:

[Anonymous Coward]

"And Mac OS X is MUCH better at serving web pages than BeOS ever was..."

thud thud thud, his site gets slashdotted

"Wait, what am I saying? Beos was a horrible web server."

Before you speak to soon, bro:

from netcraft:
The site www.osnews.com is running Apache/1.3.20 (Unix) (Red-Hat/Linux) mod_ssl/2.8.4 OpenSSL/0.9.6b DAV/1.0.2 PHP/4.0.6 mod_perl/1.24_01 on Linux

Oops...how does that foot taste now that the other shoe is on it?

To burn a data CD, you drag the volume toward the Trash.

When will they ever learn? Don't those numbnuts at Apple know that this is the #1 most annoying and stupid thing about the OS, and has been since - oh, I dunno, 1987?

Re:Huh?

[natenate]

You expect us to trust the state, Scot?

"Apple Computer: going out of business for over 20 years"

You have no idea how happy I was when C|Net ran an article a few weeks ago that contained the phrase, "beleagured PC makers Gateway, Compaq and HP" ;)
