Heh-heh :-)

BeOS seems soooo long ago now. It was like a bigger, badder sequel to the
OpenDoc debaucle. I wrote an article for the BeOS journal on software
distribution back in the day. And I have to say, Jean Louis Gassée was a
really nice guy - not what I expected at all. How different things would be
if Apple had gone with Plan B.

But - you never know. I thought Palm was dead in the water for quite some
time (how they managed to go from being the king of the PDA/Smartphone
market to...what they were earlier in the year is beyond me). I went to
OSCON yesterday, and got a personal demo of the Aries dev tools for WebOS,
now in the hands of HP. Really, really impressive.
