    No, I've never ported it to BeOS. I wouldn't be impossible to do so, but the OS was discontinued a while back and was hardly used. I think maybe one
    other person in 20 years has asked about BeOS, to give you an idea.

    There are more people asking for an OS/2 version by far and there are only a few people asking for an OS/2 version :)

    Hello g00r00!


    maybe one other person in 20 years has asked about BeOS, to give you
    an idea.

    I tried BeOS very briefly when it first came out and then moved to a much more established Linux based OS.

    There are more people asking for an OS/2 version by far and there are
    only a few people asking for an OS/2 version :)

    I actually liked OS/2 and used it for quite awhile after leaving DesqView.

    I hated BEOS. Worst OS ever. Up there with Windows ME.

    Lol. Just run a good linux.

    Wait really? IMO it's a real shame BeOS never made it big in the market. What you could do with that OS was way ahead of it's time. Kind the Amiga of the day.

    ...Windows ME on the other hand... hehe.

    But yes, these days... run Linux or BSD :)

    Fun fact: I recently spent like $2500 US on the latest Amiga. :P Whether or
    not it's a real "Amiga" or not is debatable, but it runs the OS4.1 native.

    So did I, until the world moved to Win32, and I was unable to get current apps for OS/2. OS/2 was also the best DOS multitasker out. :)
