BeOS was amazing.

At AT&T (the mothership) we inherited a bunch of NeXT machines from the cellular company they invested in.

Me, I had next to my engineering books multiple BeOS boxed OS copies.

Carried them with me to <large U.S. airplane company> where I installed them on every machine possible. Great times. Running a NeXT pizza box one one side and BeOS on a Dell Latitude on the other, and showing off the multitasking made some of my co-workers weep. (Turbo Color on the NeXT side with the frickin' sound box and monitor).

One of the <research scientists/future tech> co-workers was absolutely into Objective-C. Those were fantastic time showing what /could/ be done.

Edit: until 2016.
