*Whew* BEOS 3 manuscript submitted

Congratulations. I hope the Thermal Control Chapter got a very thorough re-write - the version on the website hadn't aged well.

Wow, that's up there with AoE3. Congrats! I'm really looking forward to this one.

Is there a preprint somewhere?

Not about the OS from the 90s that eventually got bought by Palm and then mostly forgotten about I take it.

It was something else in its day - it could run rings around anything Mac or Windows was doing. 32 standard def videos playing in desktop windows simultaneously on a dual-processor Pentium 133 in 1996, remarkable

An EXE?

Wow... I am a big BeOS fan from way back in the 486 days...

That acronym triggered a blast from the past double take.

Amazingly it is still going in niches and now called Haiku (somebody's lockdown project?)

? Where do you see that? It's a plain *.pdf which happily opens on my Linux box, so no *.exe there.

Martin Brown wrote in news:s12h92$7vh$ snipped-for-privacy@gioia.aioe.org:

No. It was around long before lockdowns.

Been around since BeOS ended.

More than that; OSNews has regular updates on Haiku and other odd topics

Same here, works fine on my Linux box. Congratulations, Phil!

Thanks, Joerg. I'll probably be bumping into walls for a few days. ;)

Wiley says it'll actually be coming out in November. They've got slow in their old age.

Look at third response to original posting (first reply from Phil Hobbs).

Worked for me. As Phil promised, it is a whole lot better than the first version I saw, and if fact pretty impressive.

Looks like your portable cloud is back. That link is plain text, so it points where it says it points--something's hosed up your browser again.

Try wget or curl.

the race on who has the most weird and unexplainable computer problems is tight between Robert Baer and skybuck

A black cloud is it? ;-) The PDF downloaded fine for me. Impressive chap ter btw!

Glad you like it. The main point of the book is to try to keep youngsters from wasting their time, enthusiasm, and confidence by falling into the same old potholes we did. (The target audience is basically me as a grad student.)

There are 19 more where that came from. ;)

Gremlins? I love mysteries. I had friend, years ago, that would call me up about his weird computer problems. His descriptions defied reality as far as I was concerned. I finally suggested a voodoo priest or maybe an exorcist. Now that I think about it, he wasn't above putting someone on.
