1997–1998

Played with PR1. Lots to like but hated the thought of working in C++ and fell in love with NeXTSTEP and WebObjects.

1999

Tried this out briefly when I was exploring a lot of different OSes.

1999–2000

It was fun and then it stopped.

Played with this off and on. Was already too much into Linux to get serious with it.

2000

I installed it, played with it a few days. Then it was gone. But it looked cute.

2000–

For the purposes of testing/experimentation.

Played with this a bit just around when it started to go downhill. Was a fun alternative - the first non-windows I really gave a chance.

greyfade

2001–2003

Dabbled a little bit with it when 5PE came out. I miss it.

2002–2003

Once I moved on to desktop Linux on my main PC, my spare PC got to explore even more esoteric lands, such as QNX and BeOS. BeOS was really neat! I'm sad it (BeOS, not the PC) died.
