From the press-this-button department...

I thought I should let you know that BeTips.net is not currently experiencing any more trouble than exceeded bandwidth. Guess it's just too popular. ;) The issue is being taken care of, and hopefully Mike @ Complexero (our super webhost) will be able to raise the bandwidth limit shortly.

CeBit Video. There is now a short video of the YellowTab booth available on BeShare, and a few url's around the web, which I'm sure will morph, and grow as expected. I'm not going to link directly to them, as I'm sure our traffic would produce a mini /. effect, and that is not a good thing. ;)

As for the video footage that I shot at CeBit, well, let me just state that it's MUCH larger than expected, and will be converted into divx form after CeBit is over, and mailed to me on a CD by Bernd, most likely by the weekend. We at TBJ and on BeShare will let you know when it's available, and will likely be sharing it via BeShare since it's so large, unless there is a serious bandwidth offer for hosting it. Anyone? Contact us.

Zeta. The burning question on everyone's mind seems to be when... when when when... ;) Well, I can tell you with 100% confidence that by July, you will be able to purchase Zeta R1. I asked both Bernd, and the new developer (unnamed at this time) directly, and their reply was four to six weeks, 99% sure. I'm going to be a bit more pessimistic, and say July, for sure. That's not horrible, since really, we all have waited so long anyhow for anything. ;)

I will also get the full specs of the machine that it was demo'd on, and post that here when I can. Also, I wanted to let you know that yes, the MacOS emulator was able to run fullscreen in that workspace, and it's Basilisk II, with updates. As for the decors, there are still a number of changes being made to those as we speak, so everything you've seen is likely to change by the time R1 rolls around.

Pictures. I didn't plan on taking any pictures, since I knew the digicam was available. I will ask if a few pictures of the booth, and more, can be taken, when I next speak to Bernd. We'll try to get them online asap. Thanks to everyone who has expressed their interest the past few days. It's encouraging to know that our efforts are having an impact with the great members of the BeOS Community. Till next time...
