I only ever got to play with BeOS on a Daystar Digital quad-PPC machine I "inherited" from work when it got replaced with more Mac hardware. I've always wanted to pick up an original BeBox, but even in the heyday of "cheap exotic hardware" (NeXT, SGI, etc) that was the mid-to-late 1990s, I never saw one pop up. As such, I am suitably envious (and find myself setting up alerting for my newly re-invigorated search for this grail, while downloading the Haiku .iso to spin up a VM, which, I assure my boss, is a fantastic use of my working hours), and greatly appreciative to have had the opportunity to read this today.
