MacOSX Vs BeOS ShootOut

Posted by timothy on from the interesting-source dept.

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."

    Oh... come now. You don't honestly think that we'll believe that his *real* name is Scot Hacker do you?

    You've got to try better than that. Such an obivous alias. ;)

    Jeeze dude - you could at least QUOTE the friggin article you are replying to because for those that browse above 0 (the majority i would think) your parent post won't appear and it is rather hard to figure out wtf you are talking about...

    Yeah, this is a meta comment. So mod it +/- 0, not -1, not +1, and please remain calm.
