And Daystar 68060 Accelerators...

You forgot the part about how a disgruntled Steve Jobs formed a rogue startup called NeXT that created the OS that blew both Windows and Mac OS away. What's even more amazing is that NeXT basically had the functional equivalent of OS X running on 030/040 hardware. :lol:

BeOS blew even NeXT away.

BeOS blew even NeXT away.

I'm not sure I'd agree. BeOS was often said to be the spiritual successor to AmigaDOS, but they left out at least one important thing that a modern OS needs which is multiuser support (which is more about a security / permission model than about running multiple users simultaneously).

It's a good OS, mind you, just as AmigaDOS is also a good OS, but as Henry Spencer says, "those who do not understand Unix are condemned to reinvent it, poorly."
