It's always great to hear the reactions of people seeing BeOS for the
first time. Modern hardware makes nearly all operating systems seem fast
but it's nice to see the attention to detail catching the eye. Well done!
I explained it as Vista Gadgets done 10 years ago.
Nearly twenty actually - doesn't time fly. Replicants were one of the
reasons I got into BeOS having followed the development of OpenDoc and
Taligent. Of course, Google is going to try and convince us that Gears are
the same thing.
I agree with François that it would be good to see more of them.
Oddly, NTFS has index support, seems like MS forgot how to use it
Yes, we talked about NTFSs attributes as well, sadly the only people
using the extra capabilities of NTFS are virus writers.
And, of course, NTFS itself was inspired by HPFS which I think may have
been the first file system to have extensible attributes.
BONE is quite stable but not perfect...
It did not seem to like me. They have problems with scp. it works
and then it stops working. I showed them how to turn on the ftp
server in BeOS and they are using that now.
I've had trouble in the past with network drivers and BONE and lots of
problems with FTP.
