To be clear, I think hell yes get as much as you can get for it. It IS quite a piece of computer history, and I'd sure like to have one, but couldn't afford it at that price myself. My OLD dual processor 200mhz self made bebox works great....

There is definitely a much bigger cool factor it being made by be, and isn't it powerpc not intel? I think as I recall they first tried the hardware/software route but gave up on that and decided to make it run on intel boxes after that. What about apps you need beos powerpc apps to run on this don't you?

I ALWAYS loved beos, but I really hated the gui. Its ridiculous ugly and can't be changed. I hope haiku becomes skinnable with different window borders and stuff like that. It would be alot more attractive to use if you could change its looks and interface a bit.

Good luck with your sale. I hope you get what your asking for it and more...
I watched your video, nice, I really love the leds in the front of the case, thats really awesome.

Actually, there was an AmigaOS theme as an Ester Egg in version PE5... I used it and it was good :)

I hope I still have PE5 around somewhere...

I thought that was just one of the standard BeOS themes in 4.5.

Anyway Jean-Louis Gassee even had a vehicle license plate - AMIGA96
Given Jean-Louis was in charge of the Mac division of Apple after Steve Jobs was kicked out, why didn't he buy it (the Amiga) from Commodore? :-/
