Good MS alternative?

first, not all BeOS user's are of MrX's persona.  personalities and attitudes similar to his are in the extreme minority.

I'm surprised to see BeOS being talked about on non-beos centric websites.

 i've posted a reply to the BeOS Max 3.0 released thread.


here's some additional BeShare compatible clients:
linux: Unizone
win: Unizone (win)
java-based: JavaShare

i'm usually logged into BeShare and/or irc.freenode.net as mmadia
feel free to nudge me if you've questions or need help.


AFA BeOS Max's website, it's safe to assume it won't be going back online for a long time.  however it can still be accessed via Internet Archive IA: BeOS Max's website

btw, R5 Pro can still be purchased for $25USD at PurPlus      
they even have some other commercial software.

one final note:  to anyone considering purchasing yellowTab Zeta.  Their listed price is around $130USD.   Before you spend the money, do some research into what is *not* available as a free download for R5.  

IMVHO, the money spent vs. commercial+proprietary software is not the consumer's favor.  

also note, Be Inc. sold R5 for $50USD.   keep that in mind while considering yT Zeta.
