What a blast to the past. I love seeing old systems, makes me want to get a couple of older machines just to play around with them.

BeOS in particular is a huge lament on what could have been - at the time, it was the slickest OS I had ever had the chance to play with and loved it dearly. I appreciate the Haiku project, but sadly I don't know how much of a place it truly has in the modern world beyond being a nostalgia toy.

Well, we're (Haiku) still the snappiest OS around, and while we're continuously playing catch-up, there are a number of people who do use it as their daily driver. Don't give up hope yet. :)
