would be great to blog about it. That same day, I got literally
dozens of hits from all over the 3rd world countries!!!"

Ha.ha. - April Fools jokes get tiresome, even if clever, when it's your birthday :-(
Actually, I enjoyed running BeOS on a Mac about 10 years ago. Too bad it didn't take off as expected, as it was pretty impressive.
Fortunately, I did a screen save of all the icons and have been using them for my personal installation of Linux. I DID have to create one in the style of BeOS to replace that silly "foot" used in Gnome, but my Linux/Gnome desktop looks sharp, colorful, and definitely NOT standard-issue.
Happy birthday
