I found online, on the WayBackMachine, two of my own desktop screenshots running BeOS in the early 2000s.

@rk @eugenialoli I knew these icons reminded me of something. Remembered I actually drew them pixel by pixel when I didn’t have gray hair (and before it was called Photon).

@eugenialoli Hey Eugenia! I remember those days (and OSNews!) with great fondness. I even got to meet some of the engineers and hang out at Be's headquarters in Menlo Park once. 🙌

@eugenialoli I really miss the time, when displaying a jpeg was state of the art. Honestly, beOS was great.
