#5>the next generation of Apple’s Macintosh operating system: Copeland.
I’m sorry but it’s Copland, after the composer Aaron Copland.
Having read altogether too many editions of Macworld in the post Steve, pre Steve era, that error (repeated later in the text) leapt off the page.
(Admittedly, this would be kind of an hilarious name for a failed OS.)

#6I didn't realize there were so few BeBoxen made. I wonder if I kept mine what it would be worth to a collector?

#10> From there, things only got worse for Be. The company lingered around until 2001 when it sold its copyrights to Palm for $11 million USD. In 2002, Be brought litigation against Microsoft for anticompetitive practices, but the suit was settled out of court for $23.25 million. After purchasing BeOS, Palm promptly discontinued the OS. Palm itself later had some problems, split, and sold. The rights to BeOS are now in the hands of Access Co along with PalmOS.
I wonder what did Apple do that BeOS didn't to succeed. And didn't Microsoft basically "save" Apple at some point?
