11/11 In 2018 I decided to support #HaikuOS by translating stuff and setting up this channel. So, what's your story with #BeOS? #myBeOSstory #haiku #haikuos
10/11 Bought a mini-PC in 2017 to be able to test @HaikuOS@twitter.com on actual hardware. Running the 32- and 64-bit version. Unfortunately, some issues with sound and wifi… #myBeOSstory #BeOS #HaikuOS
9/11 Positively surprised in 2017: @HaikuOS@twitter.com with a packet manager, more hardware support and stable enough to use. Since then waiting for the Beta! #myBeOSstory #BeOS #HaikuOS
8/11 In the last years I tried @HaikuOS@twitter.com in a VM several times: looked the same, felt the same, but buggy and instable. #myBeOSstory #BeOS #HaikuOS
7/11 In 2005, I switched to the Mac. My parents owned an LC since the mid-1990s. I'm happier by using a Mac. :-) But: Mac OS X even had at least one BeOS-like feature. Guess which one!? #myBeOSstory #BeOS #HaikuOS
6/11 Had some hopes about ZETA. My gosh...that was a disappointment! Btw: Palm and Access: What the heck did you do with the #BeOS code? #myBeOSstory #HaikuOS
5/11 In 2001, I set up a simple website in German (http://beos-user.de.vu) dedicated to the #BeOS. Last Update in 2005. Went down after http://nic.de.vu fanished. Check it out at https://web.archive.org/web/20041202012857/http://beos-user.de.vu:80/ #myBeOSstory #HaikuOS #BeOS
4/11 Compared to Windows, #BeOS was light, fast, very responsive and powerful. It made your 1990s hardware feel like and do things from the 2000s. Starting BeOS happened in seconds, not minutes, (almost) the same with #HaikuOS today. #myBeOSstory https://youtu.be/-JrzJ8055WE
3/11 In 2001, I managed to run it with a new graphics card. After Be Inc. went down, I continued using #BeOS as a secondary OS. Listening to music, writing e-mails, browsing the web, programming websites. It was a joy! #myBeOSstory #HaikuOS #BeOS
2/11 I first discovered #BeOS on a CD that came with a computer magazine in early 2000 (Personal Edition). Hardware support was poor. My graphics card was unsupported, resulting in a grayish BeOS as in the linked screenshot #myBeOSstory #HaikuOS http://www.dieseitenmacher.de/img/00/beos_r5_s.jpg
1/11 Searching for #BeOS on Twitter reveals plenty of people that still bring up an almost 20 years old OS. What’s so special about it? #HaikuOS #Haiku
That is #myBeOSstory
Did some translations on the Haiku Depot Server… #HaikuOS

This. If you're interested in history of "community" of what could have become quite an interesting operating system if they had done a few things in a different way... http://birdhouse.org/beos/byte/ #beos #beview
...posts progress to keep the Haiku-community informed.
(And I'm waiting for the Beta!)
