Back in 1999-2000, my friend (middle, first pic) tried to launch a company focusing on BeOS-based computer systems targeted at media creators. Our small team went out to SIGGRAPH '99 in L.A. to hopefully kickstart it. Obviously, that didn't happen, but I did briefly meet Jean-Louis Gassée.

Anyway, it was fun to see a BeOS reference for the first time in ages. Thanks for that!
