The cheque already bounced.
I found out about that thread yesterday while surfing on the CWoS forums and immediatelly went on to read all the (then) 23 page thread.
It was friggin hilarious! tF really nailed that dude right on the spot. 419ers deserve every bit of hell those people on 419eater gives them.
All I hope now is that the scammer doesn't read slashdot and that 419eater.com is able to keep on running after being slashdoted.
And good luck to tF!
I don't think my Pentium III 933Mhz will ever be able to run this thing.
Seriously now, how does he expect we pay for the hardware to run this thing. I crave for the days where we could run operating systems in normal, regular computers.
Hi Stan.
I don't know about the video editing software for BeOS, because I've never used them. Try looking for those software in the BeBits.
One of the coolest features, is that the instalation of the OS is as simple as possible. If your hardware is supported by the system it'll configure itself during the instalation and It'll boot with everything already up and running.
The BeOS is as simple to use as it gets, but if you're used to windows, you can change its "looks" to look like windows, but it's tracker interface is definatelly pretty easy to use.
I personally think it's easier to use than windows and alot smoother too. If you need more specific information I can try to give it to you.
BeOS is BeOS. It ain't UNIX nor Linux. It's just BeOS.
Their site is running on Linux because BeOS wasn't made to be something like Linux, it's a desktop OS, not a server in any way.
To explore it or not, that's the question. People want new things, filled with coloured stuff and bla bla bla's but they want their work done. They also wanna see ads and people saying "Hey, I use BeOS" and then, they'll be convinced it's worth using it.
When I first saw the BeOS a few years ago I was so impressed that I immediatelly purchased it. I never regreted it. It's an awesome system even for today's standards. I love it and use it till today.
The problem, as I see it, is that it has to have software that people will need to get their work done, just like they do in any Windows.
If it's compatible enough, and with enough software to make whatever people make with windows and the company explores all it's potential and all, I think it can actually survive.
The BeOS I run has still many features still to be really implemented on most operating systems. I won't uninstall it anytime soon.

Oh, there is a market indeed.
