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.
Oh well.

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.

doorwall 

A door wall is a sliding-glass door or patio door. The term is yet another example of banal Michigan vernacular, where in the residents latch on to company names, trademark names, marketing terms and product names from local companies. The terms become embedded in the local vocabulary and eventually become accepted as actual valid words and phrases. In this case the term comes from Wallside Windows in Taylor, MI (a large window manufacturer), where 'door wall' is their created word for sliding-glass door.
