@trevorflowers makes sense! You were at Be Inc, then? If you’ve written about your experiences anywhere I’d love to read ‘em! I was a teenager in a Mac-loving family at the time. I made it to MacWorld Boston I think a year that Be and the clones were there; I’m thinking maybe 1995.

@macinjosh I haven't written about it but I was at Be around 1998 working as a tester and then browser engineer. I moved on when we stopped working on NetPositive and instead ported Netscape in order to make Internet appliances.

Oh shit! This is like my white whale. Shit shit shit. I don’t have an extra $5k at the moment. Dammit.

I am not tempted at all.

(OK, I was totally &*@^*&^@ tempted, but... that's a 2017 Chevy Malibu's worth of nostalgia.)

@tankgrrl @macinjosh @thomholwerda OHH... I just looked at the price

@macinjosh please allow me to add this to the list of items the missus won’t let me buy.

@macinjosh if you had told me in 2006 people would be paying $5100 for a 66MHz POWERPC I'd probably blame inflation

[thomholwerda@exquisite.social]

@catsalad @tankgrrl @macinjosh I would perform horrendous acts of self-humiliation to own a BeBox.

@macinjosh 5k??? Ouch
