Here's an original rough demo of a song I wrote in 2013 called ' I Hope There's A Heaven'. This song was inspired by the death of my sister Irene in a car accident, February 2012, in Bragg.

Pizza Heaven is another one of those hole-in-the-wall eateries that you hear about via word-of-mouth. Oh sure, I can sit here and spout out multi-hyphenated phrases all day, but in the end, Pizza Heaven is a great little place to get a slice or two. Here's how you tell: If you have a Start menu at the bottom-left, then you have Windows. If you have a picture of an Apple at the top-left, then you are running Mac OS X. If you don't even know what an OS (Operating System) is. Let alone OSX, then heaven forbid you even use a computer.

One of the most frequently forgotten operating systems is BeOS,the Be Operating System. This operating system was originallydeveloped for the unique BeBox, later rewritten for the PowerMacintosh, and finally ported over to the x86 platform. In the enddevelopment was only for the x86.
As one of their last efforts to show the world how great BeOSwas, Be released a free version of their OS known as BeOS 5Personal Edition. This version could be installed from withinWindows 95, 98, Me, NT, or 2000 and would not effect the Windowsinstallation.
To run the OS, you could simply click on the 'Start BeOS 5' iconin the Start menu. This would then launch you into BeOS, or, inWindows 2000, ask you to insert the startup disk (which it wouldcreate during the actual installation) and then restart yourcomputer.
After the BeOS 5 splash screen, you would see the desktop - orthe 'Tracker,' as Be calls it. At first glance, it doesn't lookmuch different than Windows or the Mac OS. Open up a window, andyou will an immediate difference, however. The window's yellowtitle bar acts more like a tab - it doesn't cover the entireexpanse of the window.
Like Windows and Mac OS X, the windows support solid/activewindow dragging and resizing. As in Windows, the menu bars arepositioned below the title bar of each window.
Like the Mac OS, hard drives appear on the desktop. Shortcutscan be placed on the desktop, just like in other operating systems,and you can change the desktop picture or pattern, just like anyother graphical OS currently available.
But what is actually different about BeOS? First of all,it is fast. In fact, it is the fastest full-featuredoperating system that I have ever used. Windows open instantly, andmy favorite: Double click an MP3 file and it will open Media Playerand start playing with no delay whatsoever.
Want to browse the Internet? NetPositive opens like it is justanother folder. In fact, all applications open so quickly thatyou'd just think they were folders. This, to me, is how anoperating system should act.
Unfortunately, there are some downfalls that come with BeOS 5.There are many Ethernet cards and modems that will never besupported (my Network Everywhere NIC happens to be one of them), soif you want to get online, you may have to buy a different NIC ormodem.
This doesn't mean you can't use BeOS if you have compatiblehardware. There are loads of free applications available, justwaiting for you to download them. Check out www.bebits.com for some ofthem. You can even get themes to customize the user interface andthe Be menu.
The greatest thing about BeOS is that it does not require a fastcomputer. According to the documentation, a Pentium 90 PC with 32MB of RAM is enough. That means that it may work in Virtual PC onthe Mac. Keep in mind that I haven't tried this, and if you want totry it, it would be 'unsupported' (If you get it working, I'd loveto know).
I believe that BeOS was the best desktop OS ever made (and Iknow some of you will argue with me), however it really never madeit. What manufacturer would risk ruining their company byinstalling BeOS instead of Windows on their machines? Why shouldApple sell machines with BeOS when they already make the MacOS?
Now that Palm and Be are one, I hope to see some BeOS relatedelements become part of Palm OS 6.0 (hopefully coming in 2003).Because it was designed to be a multimedia OS, it should be able touse whatever power Palms have efficiently so that they can competebetter with Pocket PC offerings.
