I’m living in Bergen, Norway.

I never used BeOS, but I remember very well how there was consideration for this being the replacement to the very crashy Mac OS (great UI, too many bombs :slight_smile: ) I use Debian/KDE primarily, but got interested awhile back because of a bit of faux-nostalgia and wondering about some design decisions (how much UNIX is in this non-UNIX OS? :slight_smile: ) I’ve been poking more at it lately since seeing action retro’s ā€œcould this be a daily driverā€ video (for me … maybe, eventually …)

Ah - Bergen is nice. I visited a few years ago. I probably would go again when I get organised enough to arrange it.

I discovered BeOS before R4, but I had no way to try it. When I got a demo of the R4 I started craving it madly, I bought the R4.5, then the 5, BeIA (with hardware) and I didn’t even miss the Zeta. I don’t use Haiku or rather, I try it periodically without ever finding it useful, today I wouldn’t know what to do with it, I prefer to use Linux. I switched to BeOS after having used everything, today the memories and nostalgia remain, but nothing more. I forgot: I’m Italian.

Patras, Greece.

Like many others, I was aware of Haiku, and used it before (but never used BeOS). Since beta4 I am a regular user, with a dedicated machine running nightly builds, and updated frequently. Not exactly my daily driver, but part of my work is done on Haiku - and it does the job very well.

Yes, I’m still hoping to someday see at least one user from every country in the world :smiley:
We’re not quite there, however…
