An opperating system created in the early to mid 90's that was vastly supperior to many OS's currently. It's unfortunate demise was spelled out by poor driver support and lack of funding.

It now lives on only in verious open source projects and some offhand Palm workshop.
I wanted to convert to BeOS, but it died before truly reaching usable status.

Unlike Linux, BeOS was a REAL operating system which was stable, fast, and booted up within 20 seconds. The OS had fairly good hardware support, was easy to navigate, had programs that were easy to install, and had a good amount of multimedia tools. It would have been a perfect alternative to Windows had the BeOS executives decided not to try in vain to sue Microsoft and ultimately bankrupt themselves.

Bay-be Os 

Bay-be Os are manufactured by Bay-be Os Corp. They originated when I was bored and called up 411 with some chums. I asked if they had baby in a strange accent and that is where Bay-be came from. Bay-be Os are baby meat in an O form. Kind of like Cheerios, except made of Bay-be. There are also Bay-be Strips; Looks like bacon, tastes like Bay-be!
I wonder if anyone will ever actually believe that there are such things as Bay-be Os out there.
