What was your first reaction to the discovery of BeOS?
My first reaction to BeOS was kinda like 'blimey guv, this makes windows look even more appalling that I already thought it was'. I was pretty much hooked on BeOS from the word go, that first experience being the infamous pc mag cover disc that was the bootable demo.

Who is the person you most respect in the BeOS Community?
I'm not sure I respect any one person in the BeOS community more than any other but there are a few guys that do put in that extra bit of effort to keep the community interested. Dane Scott is still running BeOS Radio which is a good thing, and of course Neil Morris adds the all important UK touch with his posh voice news-reading. Then there's the guys behind the websites such as BeBits and of course TBJ - keeping as many BeOS sites up and running as possible is very important so respect to you guys. Over and above this though, the ones that really deserve the full respect of the community are the coders. Without there selfless dedication BeOS would have died with Be Inc. It's thanks to the coders that we are getting exciting apps like SampleStudio.

If you could fly anywhere in the world, what country would it be, and why?
If I could fly anywhere in the world I would to go to Iceland - just saw a program on the TV about it once and thought it looked like a proper bonkers type of place. Would suit me down to the ground!
