@rl_dane I used to have #BeOS as my main desktop. On a real #BeBox. I’m sorry to say that #Haiku just ain’t quite right.

Well now, looks like I can set the date and time on the #BeBox via the terminal. That’s a start.

I’m happy to report that my #BeBox booted right up. Other than playing with it a few times over the years, the last time it was used on a regular basis was in 2000, when it was an intranet web server under my desk at EyeWire. The file modification dates attest to that.

I’ll need to figure out how to update the OS, since the clock can’t be advanced past 2010.

The #BeBox is one of the most interesting items in my collection … and it became even more interesting after reading this article.

Je n'avais pas de #Bebox dommage.
J’avais un #PC avec un os dont je ne me rappelle plus le nom (Pas windows 3.1) , il y avait une suite office installée et là aussi impossible de me rappeler laquelle était-ce ???? (Pas Microsoft)

The classic Mastodon response to any tech troubles is to say "install Linux".

But sometimes, Linux isn't the best answer.

Sometimes, it's Haiku 😁

@Taffer Oh, brings back good memories. I donated my #BeBox to a Computer Museum in Germany. #BeOS was my daily driver for many years!

The Rise and Legacy of BeBox: From BeOS to the Arrival of Haiku

The BeBox was a personal computer designed and built by Be Inc., a company founded by Jean-Louis Gassée, a former executive at Apple. Released in 1995, the BeBox was intended to run Be Inc.'s own operating system, BeOS, which was designed for high-performance multimedia processing, specifically for tasks such as audio and video editing.

@atomicpoet #BeOS 4.5 (and then 5) for Intel x86 was my daily driver from 1999 to 2002. No “Personal Edition” starting from #Windows, either—I booted (quickly!) straight to the BeOS Tracker desktop.

I never got to run it on #PowerPC #BeBox or #Mac, but I coveted the former’s twin CPU meters on the case front.

@stevelord @ryan how stable is it? I've only tried it in a VM, and it tends to get confused and lose track of the mouse, and then require a reboot to be usable again. Back in the good old days I had an actual #BeBox and loved it.

Michael MJD published a nice video on #youtube about @haiku . Good first insight, if you are interested in #alternative #operationsystems that are different from #Linux or #BSD. It’s origins go back to #BeOS and the #BeBox in the 1990s. #RetroComputing #retro #haiku #HaikuOS #OS #AlternativeOS

A two-page review of the BeBox Dual603-133 in the December 1996 issue of Boot Magazine

There's been a lot of talk/fanfare about BeOS of late...did you know they had machines too? Look at all the blue! :)

This would have been a monster in 1996...if you could find software for it. This was the biggest knock against the machine, Boot giving it an 8 out of 10.

My dear friends of well maintained scrap iron: Hopefully most of you know about BeOS, the BeBox and its creator Jean-Louis Gassée. So you might be interested in his new autobiography “Grateful Geek: 50 Years of Apple and Other Tech Adventures”: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/152010562

I haven’t read it so far and therefore cannot say anything about the books quality. #vintagecomputing #retrocomputing #bebox #beos

Some video capture of BeOS 4.5.2 on the BeBox. Sadly a little squished because Youtube hates 1024x768 and squishes it to fit in 1280x720 because the Future is 16:9 (unless you're using a cellphone?).
