Hi the list, THX Francois to point out what is the most important for all of us : hardware even if it's old ! Since I hope I will be present to BeGeistert an because my low contribution for OpenBeOS can just be materials (since my mind is pretty sick ;-)) I would like to make a surprise/present to Marcus and would like to offer him a second display ! ;-) His last post let think that if he don't have a second display, he will certainly stop to work for OpenBeOS ;-). Hey, Marcus, do you really think that we believe to your excuses ? Now, it depends just of one thing : does Marcus will be on BeGeistert ?! If not, we will kidnapt him ;-) Hey,marcus, is an old Laptop Toshiba (Pentium 60Mhz) could be appropriate ? Don't think it's really a present since I just can run Windows on it ! ;-) So, yes, like Francois says we need hardware ! Be sure, it will be use for a good reason ! ;-) OpenBeOS need you !
