Hi,
I only check out the site as often as I check my email. About once a month. I worry each time when it opens slowly or I get a "page cant be displayed" that the site has poofed into the night. Like so many of the users have...

My BP6 still lives - sort of - it's in bits and pieces. My current main PC is a 2.2GHz Core2Duo O/C to 2.6Ghz. It's running on an Intel DP35DP motherboard, which I really like.
I did not really feel like posting here while my poor BP6 was off duty, replaced by one of those modern, faceless K8-units, dumped in a dark, cold box, where it's only company were the two Celerons...
...but now it is BACK, equipped with 768MB of the finest PC-133 SDRAM, still suffering from some bad caps and a broken coil, but hey, considering its age... and it doesn't show, it works just fine... now in my new HAPC (Home Audio PC), with my trusty old Terratec EWS 64 L soundcard (very good sounding ISA card).
Low quality pictures and more useless info to follow!
Good to see everyone here. I remember when I used to spend allot of time here. I still check it out once in awhile. I still have my original BP6's running. One is a file server and one is just an internet machine. I did however pick up another BP6 off of epay for only $19.00 including a couple of very capable 366's Its now happily got a gig nic and is plugged into the network as a Bittorent machine. Works great.....
I see what you mean, although I disagree slightly - the main thing which BeOS had, and I hope Haiku will have, which raised it above the big-hitter desktop OSes, was its low latency with multimedia.
In my work as a sound engineer and music producer, it's a constant struggle to keep latency down. With BeOS, everything was just so responsive from beginning to end, as low latency was a goal of the OS from the outset, unlike with Windows and GNU/Linux.
