Nice idea, but totally wrong :-) At the beginning I was responsible for the BeOS support at Emagic, but because I only have limited time (I also have to do many things on Mac OS and also some new projects in the works :-) and we wanted to do _MORE_ on BeOS we _hired_ somebody for that job... ############## ############## ############## ############## ############## on 01.02.2000 1:57, Dennis Gunn at mightyjohn@... wrote: > If logic could run with a given version of the BeOS and run more > efficiently than it does on any other OS, who would care if the BeOS was > *ever* ugraded again. Which also means: you can _never_ buy a new mainboard, new graphics card, etc. in the future, because the OS has to support it... ############## ############## ############## ############## ############## on 01.02.2000 5:30, Adrian Gill at adrian@... wrote: > It`s not suprising developers start getting nervous. Well, AFAIK Steinberg already pulled the plug in Nuendo for Be, and so did several other companies!

But how can they make money from a product, when they are giving it away for free? How do they pay the guys in the support? It seems that they only focus on Stinger (AFAIK a sort of set-top-box OS), which can mean that the internet stack in BeOS will become better :-) > Maybe if just a quarter of this list were to email and encourage > Be to clear up some of the 'FUD' perhaps Emagic et al would get some > of the reassurance they feel they need to continue. THIS comes to the main problem: Emagic has to plan for the future and I think, that Emagic simply can't _TRUST_ a company that didn't gave a clean statement in the last weeks. [BTW: I am not involved in the BeOS development at the moment and these comments about Be and Emagic are my _private_ opinion!] MMM -- Markus Fritze Emagic Soft- und Hardware GmbH <http://www.emagic.de>; Chief Developer New Technology Integration, MacOS
