Urbz Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 beOS is outdated. It was alright a while ago, but it has no purpose or point now. -Urby Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43865-yellowtab-releases-zeta-15/#findComment-313745 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwhsh8r Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 It is still a great os, and i am glad to hear this, so to whoever said yellowtab zeta was dead after 1.2 thanks for being wrong cant wait to try it out, and Urby3, it is outdated sadly and it serves very small functional purpose, but it is a great os and could have given any modern os a run for its money, sadly, that never happened though.

asap18 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Haiku OS is looking promising as a successor to BeOS. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43865-yellowtab-releases-zeta-15/#findComment-313817 Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtraa Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 (edited) beOS is outdated.It was alright a while ago, but it has no purpose or point now. -Urby It has a point. You can make beos the smallest OS, and it is much faster than OS X with some things. For example, try to run 20 movies at the same time. In BeOS they will run smoothly. it will just don't care. So the point of BeOS is: You can recycle any old PC with it and make it a multimedia killer machine. There is no other OS that can do this as good. Not even Linux.

Alessandro17 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Haiku OS is looking promising as a successor to BeOS. Agreed. Especially because not many people are going to pay a small fortune for Zeta.

Zulu.Walker Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 BeOS is a hella fast lil OS. Try encoding video and music with it, it is blazingly fast. I loved it, but the hardware support was weak, and I wish that more functional apps were written. Not much I could do within the OS (after the fun of making it work stable) as the most productive applications were made for OSX and Windows. I still have BeOS 5.1 installed on a 2GB drive that I have laying around somewhere, though I doubt it would boot with my hardware now I'd love to try out Haiku once it's stable, 79.99 for Zeta is not too much for a fully-working OS, but IMHO not worth the cash.

wanamino Posted March 4, 2007 Author Share Posted March 4, 2007 (edited) Zulu.Walker i think the same that you, imho about 50-30€ is the top price that i would pay for it. Maybe if they sell a low cost system, with 100% hard compatibility more people would give it a chance, i remember that in germany or japan, once time they had this option, but don't remember who was the assembler. And a link for all other beos fans like me, the now dead magazine about beos, "technoids" http://www.technoids.de/download.php?language=de in german, if someone wants its in english i think i have it in some cd...that must be in somewhere of my room Edited March 4, 2007 by wanamino Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43865-yellowtab-releases-zeta-15/#findComment-316289 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zulu.Walker Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 (edited) Yeah, they once sold BeOS-compatible boxes, but there was only one such assembler that I know of (but can't remember the name), and they called it BeBoxes. The old site for the boxes were on FrizBe.net, but it's been dead for quite some time. There's a new archive up with tons of info on these old boxes on http://www.bebox.nu. It's also on Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BeBox. I've been waiting for more than a year for Haiku to mature, and it's looking better and better each day. Time to resurrect some old hardware! EDIT: Getting off-topic... Anyone have YT Zeta up and running?
