Most people (even in the geek community) dont know how large the Be userbase actually is, mainly becuase we keep fairly quiet (too busy coding and porting apps to our favorite OS). What will really make it grow is the support by hundreds of hardware and software companies willing to write drivers and programs. Keep in mind, these are not just small no-names. Creative Labs, Intel, SGI, IBM, Adaptec, Plextor, Sony, Asus, Dell, and tons more have shown strong support for the multimedia capabilites of the BeOS. Dont be suprised if all-of-a-sudden a lot more BeOS users pop up than anyone realised.
chill out, nobody is whining.. you know there are still those of us who dont have an option for anything more than 28.8 my isp doent even offer 33.6 or 56k, much less ISDN or anything faster.. we deal with what weve got, ya know? although.. heh what I wouldnt give for 10k/sec.. or low pings:)
