edit: ugh, some people are reporting my links are forbidden. i removed my .htaccess file, which had some rules forbidding hot-linking. maybe that will help?

All your links are 403 from here.

Same here


Do you mind if I add these to my article?


hey, go right ahead! that's not even all my stuff. i have a couple of beos coffee cups, several boxed copies of beos, and several books.

one thing, though: i am pretty sure that the haiku error messages were only in netpositive, the web browser, and not in any other beos apps.


thanks m8! updated the article with images and a little different wording about the haiku error messages.


I can confirm that I now see your images.
