Michael MJD published a nice video on #youtube about @haiku . Good first insight, if you are interested in #alternative #operationsystems that are different from #Linux or #BSD. It’s origins go back to #BeOS and the #BeBox in the 1990s. #RetroComputing #retro #haiku #HaikuOS #OS #AlternativeOS

I understand why they ditched PPC support, but I wish I had something more modern to run on my BeBox. That aside, what the Haiku team has pulled off in this latest release is awe-inspiring!

When I was younger I was always interested in alt computing. The two systems I dreamed of owning were an SGI Indigo 2 MAX Impact and a BeBox.

Every now and then I look for an Indigo 2 on eBay, but I'm yet to see one with the specification I want at the right price in good condition.

I've accepted I'll never own a BeBox though, they are too rare and thus too expensive. Even 25 years later they still look absolutely amazing.

Just look at those ports!

BeOS turns 25! On the 3rd of October 1995, Be Inc. presented #BeBox & #BeOS to the world during the Agenda conference. The demo was successfully received with standing ovation, for the 2nd time in Agenda's history. Here's the recording: https://youtu.be/sz3IRWM18zM @haikuOS@twitter.com

@hankg Nice find. The #BeBox and #BeOS were fantastic. Neal Stephenson called the latter " the Batmobile among operating systems".

I think I'm gonna dig an old PC in my basement and rebuild a station to install, run and use BeOS again.
I miss it! So much!...
