Saw this in the latest issue of the Be newsletter. Apparently I'm a registered Be developer now, but I'm going to save my money for a little bit before springing to buy one. Any BeBox owners on this list want to comment? For those of you who haven't heard of Be, http://www.be.com/ Thomas J. Merritt, president of CodeGen, on the BeBox: "I think it would make a terrific networking server. The only other thing that comes close in price/performance is a generic PC loaded with FreeBSD, ^^^^^^^ but that's a pain to configure. Windows NT and pay-for UNIX cost more, and other desktop OS's don't offer memory protection or other niceties the BeBox has." Parag adds, "With the GeekPort, the BeBox could also be nice as a user-friendly factory floor controller." ---Jake
