I'm packing to move and just came across a BeOS Preview Release CD and Metrowerks Codewarrior CD for BeOS CD pack from 1997. It ran on Powermacs with Motorola processors. Will mail it to the first interested person for free.
I have to move soon and don't want to take this with me. If no one else wants in within say 1 week it's yours. Is there a way for me to upload pics of the CDs and packages to show they aren't bootlegs?
Yeah, I'd really want to get my hands on it. But I wouldn't so much know what to do with it as my friend Robert Wheeler does. He was apparently one of your maintainers, and also apparently has some BeOS source laying around. Regardless, it'd be nice to have, especially the CodeWarrior part. But if you have any newer BeOS CodeWarrior versions laying around, I'd greatly appreciate it.
I wasn't involved with Be, I was just a Mac user and tinkerer who thought it looked cool. One fun piece of trivia - it had a little applet that showed a dynamic bar graph of your cpu usage, like you might see today, the little green LED style pseudo-lights in the corner of your desktop. Well, with BeOS, each one (i had a dual-cpu Powermac 9600) had a little checkbox next to it. You could click on the checkbox to turn off the cpu. And you could actually click on both, and the computer would freeze. My submission to Be was closed as "Not a Bug" lol

Re: Free BeOS memorabilia
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't interested but just in case there is a person out there that REALLY REALLY wants it I'll hold out. =)
Pretty damn cool though.
