Out of curiosity, did you use it as a daily driver? A friend of mine tried it out briefly, and it was pretty cool, but the lack of applications meant we couldn't really do anything with it (other than marvel at how cool it was). Did it eventually get applications developed for them? Like did they have an office suite?
Gobe Productive was one of the best office suites around when it came out (as far as what I had to do). It was just so good. Other than that, I could email and browse the web. I was just starting to learn programming and The BeOS Bible was really helpful.
