Wait. They support the AmigaOS! :) And they did that even before all the
A1 stuff, AFAIK. Also, yes, Be did sell its assets to Palm, but it is also
true that YellowTab (http://www.yellowtab.com) licensed the source-code
from Palm and will be releasing Zeta (BeOS R6) in January of February. Not
to mention the OSS projects cloning it (I am the OpenBFS Team Lead for the
OpenBeOS project).
Anyway, I repeat: I know (or I think that I know) what the problem is
with the BeOS version and I offered to help for free. That's not the kind
of stuff you would count as expenses on your budget. :P :)
