"it would be great if someone could coax Zakariya back into BeOS development, especially for OBOS R2" I too hope we can coax some of the major BeOS developers back. I would also really like to see some interaction with Intel, AMD and nVidia once things get stabilized a little. I think a lot of people will consider moving back for R2 once the "heavy lifting" is out of the way. I really don't have time to put into active development of an entire operating system, but once we get a distribution of OBOS R1 I might start tinkering again, especially considering I take Operating Systems next trimester and have had a couple of Computer Architecture classes, a Digital Signal Processing class, and some other hardware interfacing stuff. I'm actually kind of interested in seeing the Kernel ported to other platforms sometime. Nick
