Posted by timothy on from the rumplepalmskin dept.

This latest version of the operating system includes support for ARM processors, Bluetooth and 802.11b, high-res displays (320x320; although Sony already uses even high res displays in its NR70) and more. Products with PalmOS 5 should start shipping in just over a months' time!"

    But what are Palm Inc going to do with the BeOS source code they bought from Be Inc ?

    When are we going to see a new release of BeOS ?

    That's what the Microsloth world calls "upgrading" anyhow!

    You can't be more than 21. Nice comment--Feel better? Do you always get pissed off on behalf of others? Whoever it was that I offered my correction to didn't seem too upset about it.

    I don't know why you read that as "Holier Than Thou." Maybe I should have said "Please, please don't be offended, I'd like to offer this bit of information. Disregard if you already knew this or it makes you angry." But damn, that disclaimer would be longer than the original message! If I thought that whoever that was knew it was "per se" and not "per say" I wouldn't have posted anything.

    It was one sentence, and not a very long one at that. Impressive that you got so much out of it. On the other hand, your post had a definite Holier Than Thou feel to it. By your own reasoning you should hate yourself, which makes two of us.

    It's "STAR WARS", if you're picky.
